Product Description
Product Description
The breadth of Sabine Meyer's repertoire is matched by her dedication to collaborations with other great musicians. This recording continues the trend, and sees her working with her student, Julian Bliss.
At the age of 17, Julian is already establishing himself on the international concert scene having already made highly successful debuts at Wigmore Hall, Verbier Festival and the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
Krommer was one of the most successful of the many influential Czech composers in Vienna at the turn of the 18th century. His creative output comprises over 300 works, although he only began to publish them in later years. Tuneful and elegant, the double clarinet concerto is a perfect repertoire choice for teacher and student.
Spohr's clarinet concertos - of which Nos. 2 and 4 are performed here - strike a fine balance between virtuosity and musical substance, and they represent a major contribution to the development of the clarinet not merely in terms of repertory but also of construction.

The partnership of Meyer and Bliss in the Krommer double concerto is fantastic. They bring life to music which has been neglected and they demonstrate that in the right hands, this concerto should be heard more often on the concert circuit. Until that happens, this is a gem of a CD to listen to time and time again especially since it's not only the Krommer that is delightful, because there is more virtuoso yet highly witty and musical performances in the Spohr #2 (Bliss) and #4 (Meyer) from both soloists. Both these Spohr concerti are less performed than the #1 but having heard them on this CD, I am left wondering why that might be.... they are good enough to be held in equal esteem in my opinion.
This next paragraph is by no means an afterthought, because the ASMF and their conductor must be mentioned as being instrumental (pardon the pun) in rounding off this CD as a refreshing album of late classical-early romantic clarinet works with new life breathed into them by top notch performers all round.

This is a hugely enjoyable disc. I was completely unfamiliar with either Spohr or Krommer, but heard some on Radio 3, liked it, and took a chance on this disc. I haven't much to add to what Maximus has said in his/her review here, other than to endorse it wholeheartedly: the performances are uniformly excellent and the music extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended.

I bought it for the Spohr concertos and I did enjoy them, but I was captivated by the Krommer, whom I confess I'd never heard of.
