Bert van den Brink Invites Clare Fischer is a live album featuring the impromptu Dutch/American piano duo of and Clare Fischer, released in October 2001 on the Dutch Challenge label.[1]
Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars, with reviewer Judith Schlesinger applauding the players' resourcefulness:
Due to a minor road mishap, there was no time for rehearsal or even a definitive set list -- but with musicians of this caliber, this is more opportunity than disadvantage. The result is an extraordinary evening of musical spontaneity, fellowship, and wit, which is even more remarkable because van den Brink is totally blind, and visual cues were impossible... You can hear the delight of discovery in the players' comments, the general laughter, and -- above all -- in the music.[1]
