Big-Boned Mozart
8 Dec 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase
.... I'm biased toward performances such as these--warm, spacious, generous interpretations, with none of the thin, bloodless warblings that characterize period piece recordings. The soloists are in fine form, and then there's Karl Bohm, one of the greatest Mozart conductors ever, directing. The feature attraction is of course the clarinet concerto--the last concerto Mozart ever wrote--with its complex interweaving of melancholy and peaceful resignation. I bought this because the first recording I ever had of this concerto featured the clarinet soloist here--Alfred Prinz--on a Decca recording from the '60s. It's obviously a piece close to his heart, and he pours everything into it--especially the Adagio, which is one of the most beautiful Mozart ever composed. The other two concertos are perfectly agreeable, lighter pieces, more in keeping with the many Serenades and Divertimenti Mozart wrote in the late 1770s and early 1780s. The oboe concerto is very appealing, with a particularly ambitious Andante, but the oboe doesn't have nearly the range of the clarinet and there can't be any comparison to what the clarinet concerto achieves. Both the oboe and bassoon concertos are well worth having though, and they complement the profundities of the clarinet concerto nicely; just don't expect them up to the same heavenly standard.

The clarinet part is different!
26 Jun 2010
Mozart wrote his concerto for the basset clarinet, an extended-range instrument that promptly went extinct. Playing the piece on a regular clarinet requires jumping up an octave where the score originally went too low. You can actually hear the soloist doing this on the tiny excerpt Amazon posts! But some years back, instrument makers recreated the basset clarinet to solve this problem, and several fine performances using it are available--Thea King's for one. I have to say that having gotten used to the basset clarinet version makes the regular clarinet performance sound odd.
My guess is that this older recording, highly regarded by critics, predates the revival of the basset clarinet. If you've never heard the other version you might not find it so awkward-sounding. Plus there's the other works on the CD.
