    When you hear him play, you realize Jan Vogler himself is somewhat of a comedian.

    Somehow I do not think of Bill Murray as a “comedian,” but as an actor who for sure has acted in funny sketches, made wonderfully comedic films but also some serious ones. But not a joke teller.

    Vogler’s CD of duets with violinist Mira Wang (they round up the usual suspects: Ravel and Kodaly and Handel/Halvorsen, but there is also a marvelous change of pace with Hanns Eisler’s raffish duet) is beautifully played and recorded. Highly recommended.
