Product Description
Album Description
The three Mozart pieces on this disc represent some of the composer's finest and most enduring chamber music. Each one has a wind instrument as soloist. Although the clarinet was not frequently used in the 18th century, Mozart composed three masterly works for the instrument - a concerto, a trio, and this exquisite quintet, written for and premiered by the leading player of the time, Anton Stadler. The Horn Quintet resembles a miniature concerto for horn and strings and sits comfortably alongside the popular concertos which were written over the same period, 1782 - 1786. The Oboe Quartet explores the more intimate side of chamber music, and avoids the concertante features of the other two works on the disc by the use of highly subtle and refined integration of the various instrumental voices.
The Kuijken String Quartet has been in existence for almost 20 years, and has dedicated itself to the interpretation of the music of Haydn and Mozart. All the members of the group are recognised as soloists in their own right on the international stage and the quartet has toured the world on several occasions.
The Kuijken brothers, Sigiswald and Weiland, have themselves been pioneers in the world of early music performance over the last few decades, and have produced many acclaimed discs for the likes of Deutches Harmonia Mundi during this period. This hybrid SACD recording incorporates three eminent artists as soloists for each of the three works presented, Lorenzo Coppola in the Clarinet Quintet, Pierre-Yves Madeuf in the Horn Quintet, and Patrick Beaugiraud in the Oboe Quartet.
Personnel:
Sigiswald Kuijken, Francois Fernandez - (Violin), Marleen Thiers - (Viola), Wieland Kuijken - (Cello), Lorenzo Coppola - (Clarinet), Pierre-Yves Madeuf - (Horn), Patrick Beaugiraud - (Oboe)
