                    [Summary] => German Ambassador Herbert D. Jess scored a veritable coup with his presentation of eminent pianists Ingrid Santamaria and Reynaldo Reyes at his residence, setting up two grand pianos in the living room for the special occasion.


The pianists, who have been proselytizing throughout the country for the 113th time on their "Romantic Music Journey"–often under the most trying conditions–interpreted Brahms’s Concerto No. 1 in D Minor and Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 in E Flat Major, with Ingrid as soloist and Reynaldo taking the orchestral part.

Dominating the concert was Raul Sunico who revealed himself a formidable pianist, excellent assisting artist to soprano Thea Perez and tenor Ronan Ferrer, and singularly imaginative arranger.

                    [Summary] => More than once, I have observed that chamber music can be the best cure for insomnia. The Clarion Chamber Ensemble totally contradicts my observation.


To be sure, the Oxford Concise Dictionary defines clarion as a "shrill narrow-tubed trumpet formerly used in war". A second meaning is "rousing sound"; a third, "organ-stop of clarion quality, clear and loud".


To my mind, what best describes the concerts of the Clarion Chamber Ensemble is "rousing sound" – one that engages, absorbs or compels attention.
