Zurich clarinetist Elisabeth Ganter revealed her cultivated, sensitive, and expressive playing style, while adhering to her flawlessly precise technique. The entire hall gave a long-standing ovation to which Elisabeth Ganter replied with a particularly subtle performance of Ravel’s “Pièce en formede Habanera”, in which all shades and implications of the piece were captured.

Chamber musical jewels for romantics
It was an especially delightful evening for friends and lovers of classical music. Elisabeth Ganter and her pianist gave a diverse chamber concert, which  the audience enthusiastically received. Schumann, Reissiger, Stanford and Busoni were performed by the duo with a devoted, convincing, and certain intonation, which worked both enchanting and ecstatic.

Elisabeth Ganter has absolute command of her instrument and always manages to capture her audience, regardless of whether she produces a tantalizing, delicate pianissimo or a dramatic fortissimo from her clarinet.
