Показать описание
Recorded on Mozart's birthday, 27 January 2019, at St John's Smith Square, London, the London Mozart Players perform Mozart's sublime Clarinet Concerto, with virtuoso Michael Collins performing on the Basset clarinet.

This was the last major work that Mozart completed. Nine weeks after writing the clarinet concerto, he was dead. In this swan song, he left a testament to happiness and sadness, to hope and resignation.

I Allegro
II Adagio
III Rondo. Allegro

***

The London Mozart Players are an orchestra at the heart of London’s classical music scene, and the UK’s oldest chamber orchestra!

This is a really, really good performance of this piece, played on the proper instrument, the instrument for which the concerto was written. Mr. Collins ornamentation is wisely chosen, and always at the service of the piece. I liked his tempi and he's a player with a lovely sense of what a clarinet should sound like. He's not too fussy, he is judicious in his use of rubato, and the ends of all his phrases can be heard. He obviously knows this piece like the back of hand, and he obviously loves it. The piece is a masterpiece of the concerto genre, so what's not to love?

And we are lucky to hear performances of it that are as good as this one. The band is one that I would happily enjoy listening to any day. Thank you London Mozart Players for this lovely walk through Mr. Mozart's perfect little garden of Earthly delights. I am sure the people who were in that audience for that performance whistled tunes from the concerto on their walks home.

Oh, that achingly beautiful second movement. And at 16.24 - wow! Michael Collins is the absolute master ... and the glorious floating final note after the orchestra has stopped - another wow!

Exquisite. The 2nd movement is a sublime antidote for the times we live in. Thank you Mr Mozart for your foresight - and thank you Mr Collins and LMP for the tender interpretation.

This orchestra plays in an ideal manner between the tradition and the 'historic' performances.

Hören "in *erster Reihe"!*

Die Intonation der Instrumente wird *nicht* verändert; da jedoch vor allem die mAn. *eigentlich kaum hörbaren* Obertöne zunehmend verstärkt sind, gewinnt die Wiedergabe merklich an Brillianz.

(An der Tonquelle sind zunächst die Obertöne maßgeblich und stark mit-verantwortlich für die "Tonfärbung" des Klanges. Je *weiter entfernt* ein Hörer, umso deutlicher lässt die sehr hochfrequente Signalintensität nach; *schneller* als die tiefere! Für ältere Aufnahmen bereits relevant beim Input in die unterschiedlich im Raum postierten Mikrofone. Dem wird mit neuester Aufnahmetechnik natürlich Rechnung getragen. Bei *früheren* Produktionen wirkt hier mMn. eine moderate Verstärkung der in einer Aufnahme geschwächt vorhandenen obersten Frequenzen diesem Hochtondefizit etwas entgegen; hören Sie selbst! - Erstaunlich - )


Vergleiche die Wiedergabe, z.B. ab 12:19f. mit und ohne o.a. Equilizer-Einstellung.... Hier wird die 'bessere Akustik' sehr deutlich hörbar.

Great performance but such a shame it is littered with adverts by YouTube every 3-4 minutes.

This concerto is one of my favorites, but it is definitely better on the original instrument it was written for, no doubt about it. Late Mozart is so rich in both melodic invention and harmonic textures. It's just a shame that "late" for him was his early 30s.
