Hans Vonk - Mozart: Clarinet Concerto in A Major/Sinfonia in E flat Major on CD

Description

Mozart’s special affection for the clarinet found heartfelt expression in one of his last works, the Concerto in A major. Sabine Meyer performs it, as the composer intended, on the deeper-pitched basset clarinet. “The music’s so simple, so easy, and yet so deep emotionally – like a religion,” she has said. Completing the disc is the Sinfonia concertante in E flat with its quartet of soloists – oboe, horn and bassoon joining the clarinet.
