We are so thankful to our colleagues whom we so respect & admire for their support of our new Breath & Hammer album! Their words on the release:
"...You almost have to take their word for it when they tell you it is nothing but clarinet and piano... Krakauer is a clarinetist who is capable of a mind-boggling array of sounds…"
–John Shaefer, host of WNYC New Sounds
"‘Breath and Hammer’ is a masterful and joyous journey that rewards and delights the listener every moment of the way. I was beaming through the entire album, reinvigorated by the energy and imagination of each track and so happy to know that David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg have made a musical adventure that pulls us out of the static isolated silence of our fraught time. They have found a way to give music a huge refreshing burst of energy only true explorers are able to give. They bound to ecstatic heights of fantasy and show us a new bright path forward."
–David Harrington, violinist & founder of the Kronos Quartet
"Truly beautiful and inspiring. My clearest thoughts are: 'this is music that is inspired by traditions but not limited by them, and it is also music that redefines the genre and both instruments'."
–Kinan Azmeh, Syrian clarinetist & composer

"The Tagg-Krakauer duo took the room by storm as they presented one of the most remarkable concerts I have ever attended anywhere in the world... an astonishing display of indescribably stunning, mesmerising musicianship"
