Mozarts famous Clarinet concerto with Alfred Prinz I hope I am spelling his name right. Also on Hyperion there is Crussel's three clarinet concertos with Thea King with Aulin francis conducting....enjoy
Clarinet concertos anyone?
I'm interested in hearing some of your favorite Classical Clarinet CD's.
Just picked up nice 3 CD set called Romantic Clarinet Concertos from Brilliant Classics. The 1st piece alone, Conc #1 in F minor Op73,played by Emma Johnson with the English Chamber Orchestra, is worth the price of this bargain priced set($14 at CD Universe).
(However it is a reissue & it's excellent quality is most fully revealed by reversing the polarity on my Spectral preamp.)
I am interested in hearing of other Clarinet concerto CD's
with similar feel to the music.(For Jazz Clarinet lovers Pete Fountains CD "Swinging Blues" on Ranwood Records in 1990 is a gem(analog recording). I'd enjoy others like it also.

I love the Corigliano. I've got Stanley Drucker performing it with the NY Phil. Unfortunately it's recorded in DBX vinyl and my tape deck with DBX gave up the ghost decades ago. I can play it back, but the dynamics are screwed. Anyway, it's a great, modern concerto that I would highly recommend to the adventuresome. Dave |
One choice would be Mozart's Clarinet Quintet by Anthony Michaelson of Musical Fidelity fame done well by Stereophile and John Atkinson. The highs are magical. It is STPH 015-2 and ordered from Stereophile.com. Another is Mozart's Clarinet Concerto as mentioned above but by Anthony Michaelson again SACD by Stereophile. Or By Christopher Hogwood and Anthony Pay on the L'oiseau-Lyre label 414-339-2. All are lovely. |
