Praised as a „marvellously harmonious duo“ (Berliner Morgenpost), the Brillaner Duo exemplifies the scientifically proven fact that the clarinet’s warm and human sound blends into the piano better than any other instrument. Winning the Possehl-Prize in Germany, as well as the America-Israel Cultural Foundation and the Ronen Foundation grants, the Brillaner Duo performed at such celebrated halls as the Berliner Philharmonie and the Carnegie Hall. Their debut CD has met with widespread acclaim since its release in June 2005 and was described as a „fascinating mixture of two dazzling artists“ (Das Ensemble Magazine).
