  • 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.

      Yes! He truly does know this piece like the back of hand, because you notice he is the one player in the group who is not reading sheet music from a stand in front of him so the back of his hand must be where he wrote all the notes he must play so he must know this piece like the back of hand or at least the side of hand facing him. He must have an incredible memory. I wish I had such a good memory! Mine was ruined with childhood brain cancer as a twelve year old! Cancer's gone now, and memory is too!

    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.

    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.

    Did you also know that this is Mozart’s final, last piece. He went to heaven nine weeks after. Sad.
    This is without doubt, one of best camouflaged composition of Mozart. There is a very sad, almost crying for help undertone beneath the seemingly joyous happy melody. See if you can catch it.

  • @user-te9dx1iy2p

    This Concerto is all about the Second Movement. However, the interpretation of this clarinetist is very “earthy” like a dying person’s last breath instead of a rising Spirit with a heavenly wisdom perceived by us through deceptive melancholy…. It’s not melancholy but à nostalgia of prior knowledge

    Sometimes, without a conductor can be a good thing. If the soloist wants to go at a certain tempo, but the conductor force you into a faster or much slower one than you like, there will be a conflict... which is the most awkward thing for we the audience. I have experienced this in many music competitions and the judge cum conductor wants his music play in a certain way. The result ? Of course the competitor lost.
    As an aside, that Asian lady on the violin is kind of funny.
