    John Williams Clarinet concerto, The soloist used an Oehler clarinet. It has a darker tone. You shouldn't be criticing if you don't know what you are talking about

  • Delightful

    These performances are remarkably fresh and articulate: spot on playing, sparkling clarity and intimacy. A nice alternative to modern interpretations.

  • A Faithful Rendition

    Freiburger Baroque is a rising star in the classical music sphere. Its recording of Haydn’s “Seasons” won the nomination of Gramophone Records Magazine in 2007. As expected, the performances in this recording are purely authentic and periodic. Based on the sound, the string players probably did not use vibrato at all. However, the orchestra provided firm support to the soloists with rthymic dynamic as well as verve in tutti passages for the orchestra. The piano used in the first concerto is a forte piano with less resonance and expressive power than a modern Steinway. The choice of the instrument brought Mozart’s compositional skill into sharp relief in terms of not letting the orchestra overshadow the piano solo parts. The factor also might shed light on why Mozart was unable to produce more powerful piano concerti as early Beethoven, who was blessed with the advent of the Broadwood instrument. The instrument used in the clarinet concerto is a basset horn, like the one used by Anton, for whom the concerto was dedicated. The instrument has more power in lower register and balances well with the orchestra. One of the many delights offered by this recording is the comfort that this could well be what was actually heard by Mozart’s patrons in his Viennese concert around 1790.
