The Art of the Clarinet Reviews
| 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful:  Classic Chamber Music with Clarinet, By This review is from: The Art of the Clarinet (Audio CD) I have often thought that if I took up a wind instrument, it would be the clarinet. It is possibly the most perfectly constructed and smoothly functioning of all the wind instruments. It has an almost four-octave range (by virtue of it being overblown at the twelfth, not the octave like all the other orchestral winds), a very wide dynamic range from the merest whisper to a clarion tone (in fact, the term 'clarion' and the term 'clarinet' come from the same root), incredible flexibility (closest of any wind to that of the violin), mimics the human voice in its range and sound and, finally, has the smoothest most ingratiating tone (as Mike Myers's 'Linda Richman' would say, 'Like buttah!'). [Please don't be mad at me, all you oboists, bassoonists and flutists out there!]Here we have core clarinet chamber music repertoire: Beethoven: Trio in B flat, Op. 11 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Chamber music at its best, By A Customer This review is from: The Art of the Clarinet (Audio CD) The sound of Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has committed me like a guardian angel since I was a little child. Listening with my parents to the radio transmissions of Salzburg Festival (we were positively unable to buy tickets) I got my first idea of a better world. Now listening to the first CD of a new edition with soloists of VPO, I felt the same calm euphory. Peter Schmidl, VPO's first clarinet, has taught two generations of young musicians. His recording of Mozart's clarinet concert under Leonard Bernstein has become part of musical history. On this CD he performs with brilliant young partners chamber music by Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Alban Berg. Warmth and sensuality of his tone are unbeatable even by other world champions like Meyer, de Payer or Leister. The piano part is admirably played by Madoka Inui - brilliance, elegance and intellectual analysis of her interpretaion are first class. So: Who ever calls himself a clarinet maniac - and this is not difficult,...

I liked the Mozart, loved the Mendelssohn -- they were sheer delight. As with my other LPs I eventually sought to find a CD replace and bought this. It is a mild delight for the Mendelssohn and a time-killer (or worse) for the rest. I guess this isn't my kind of music (I always run the other way when Beethoven goes into variations) but the performances are also lackadaisical. Witness the basset-horn pieces, which should fill you with happiness but only make you smile a little. I've played it a number of times but, seriously, I doubt I'll ever play it again. Sad. The competition for the Mendelssohn pieces is not fierce. |
