Sharon Kam has set the bar for this performance against which all others will be judged. The Adagio is one of the best clarinet performances I believe in history. Everything is perfect - the tuning of the instrument, her tone, dynamics, her breath control, her articulation, and her musicality. What is especially striking to hear, as a clarinetist, is the absolute lack of difference in tone as she ascends and descends the registers. This puts her in a class of clarinetists all her own.
I heard her with this concerto live, two months ago. The second movement was breathtaking. The audience was at awe. She is truly the best interpreter of Mozart.
If you were transfixed by the deeper, warmer, and engulfing sound of Sharon Kam' s clarinet (as was I), you might want to know that she is playing a Basset Clarinet. Apparently, Mozart wrote the Clarinet Concerto for his friend Anton Stadler who, like Ms. Kam, played the basset clarinet. However, for some reason, modernly, most clarinetists it seems, prefered the soprano clarinet for this piece instead. My vote goes to the Basset clarinet. Sharon Kam's superb playing and body movements were delightful and masterful, as was the accompaniment by the orchestra under Maestro Manfred Honeck. Lovely & Thanks for uploading.
It is not so much because of preference, but rather because of necessity. The basset clarinet was as you mentioned designed by Stadler as an extension of his clarinet to reach the low C. The only remains of this clarinet (as far as I know) is the sketch of it on the flyers for the Uraufführung of the clarinet concert. It was described by people reporting on the Uraufführung as an "Inventions-Klarinette" (a new type of clarinet). The problem is that it didn't find any widespread adoption, I don't think that anyone other than Stadler had one. So most if not all available version of the concert at the time (Mozart, if I remember correctly, started to rewrite the concert himself, though I am not sure of it) were written for the regular clarinet, because of the things mentioned above. In addition, Stadler's plans for the clarinet were lost to time, so there was no way for other clarinet builders to make these extensions. Because of the rewriting of the Concerto to suite the needs of clarinetists (being able to actually play it) and loosing the plans to how the extension was build, the basset clarinet was forgotten. There were (and maybe still are) Historians that are doubtful of it's existence, but it was the discovery of the original version by Mozart, but more importantly, the discovery of the pamphlet depicting the clarinet that led to efforts of reconstructing it. Nowadays, the basset clarinet is being brought back more and more for the Mozart Clarinet Concerto KV622 and I have seen efforts to reconstruct passages, which were meant to be played on a basset clarinet, in Mozart's Clarinet Quintet KV581. There are recordings of Sabine Meyer and Ricardo Morales also playing on basset clarinets available on TH-cam.
The sound of the basset clarinet goes straight to the heart and, if the music is composed by Mozart, then you know nothing else will be any better, any enchanting.
Why have nobody told me about this Glorius Lady! The first time in a long time I have listend to a clarinettplayer after my tast with sound and musicaly frasing. Thank you lady SHARON. SUPERLADY in Mozart..,
The Emotions of Mozart’s Music Without Borders. Mozart’s music deeply touches both the minds and hearts of listeners, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. Wolfgang A. Mozart’s flute concertos are among the most beautiful expressions of music, capturing the essence of humanity. His compositions convey a rich tapestry of emotions: joy, hope, sorrow, and loneliness. Each note weaves together moments of happiness and sadness, even in the most hopeless of circumstances. Mozart’s music embodies joy and emotion, reaching deeply into the human spirit. His work continues to resonate with people worldwide, leaving an enduring impact on souls and hearts. Each piece embarks on a journey of innovation and inspiration, creating an emotional connection that is truly timeless. ❤🎉
This is a player after my taste. Lady Kam goes behind the the clarinetplayers a have listen to on TH-cam. Thank You Sharon Kam this was a happy moment for me..
Gratuliere ! Alle. Tja, mit einen Paar Zeit in Himmel ich war. Bestem danke, für so Schöne Musik - so mit Herz gespielt ! Einfach Wunderschön . Bestem danke.
Concerto by Mozart for clarinet with orchestra - is a delightful harmony of the sound of of a soloist and conductor, it is a deep and wondrous pleasure for the senses. . .
Wonderful performances. Mozart's Musical Legacy: A Divine Gift to Humanity. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a prodigious composer of the 18th century, gifted the world with some of the most exquisite music in the history of Western society. His compositions resonate deeply with the human experience, leaving an indelible mark on countless souls. Mozart's music transcends the boundaries of time and place, enchanting audiences with performances that continue to captivate. Personally, I sense his enduring presence as his timeless melodies travel across the globe, evoking the full spectrum of human emotions, from the depths of loneliness and sorrow to the heights of pure joy.
You can't get better than this, excelent piece being played by an absolute master (mistress...beg your pardon ;)...of their craft, on a basset (the best clarinet in my opinion) in the theatre that mozart used, lit by candles... creating such a special atmosphere. Sharon definitely deserved those flowers, and our respect. Deserved those flowers too!!
Fantasticl!! Mozart's clarinet concerto has always been one of my favorites. The second movement is almost too beautiful to bear. And such a beautiful theater; I love the live candles/candelabra at each end of the stage. Very cool to know that Mozart actually conducted in this theater.
Que peça maravilhosa que é este Concerto para clarinete do menino-prodigio W A Mozart interpreteda pela prodigiosa clarinetista Sharom Kam. Hoje ja a ouvi 3 vezes e de cada vez senti a emoção da beleza plena que a Humanidade pode produzir... Bravo Maestro e bravíssima Sharom... Deus a cumule de muita saúde e maiores sucessos. Adoraria poder escutá-la ao vivo...
Truly amazing- as much as I luv vox of clarinet, this piece by This lady is So wonderfully animated & enlivened that I feel anew spirit of such composition! Thank you mademoiselle!!!
This is true, Ricardo. Later Mozart works are conceptually more ellaborated. This is the case for many composers, as one would expect. The maturity and experience makes a considerable difference.
Just wonderful. It is clearly heard that she is playing a basset-clarinet. As Anton Stadler, once upon a time. With some more bass when it is needed. I have to list this as one of my two favourites.
Que bello sonido sinceramente . Ojala pudiera sonar así . Pero no me dejaron estudiar música así que ya no práctico seriamente todos los días así que dudo que lo obtenga.

No matter how many times I listen to this lady playing this piece of music I am still in awe at her ability!
Same, she will forever be an inspiration for improving my own sound
The coda of the Rondo is so wonderfull !
Thank you so much Sharon Kam and Manfred Honeck and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Absolutely beautiful.
Stunningly beautiful! The Adagio is beyond our ability to describe in words - just perfect. It transports the soul.

Mozart was a gift to the world, so sad we lost him soon :/
I could listen to this all day, beautiful!
It is not possible for me not to cry when I hear Sharon playing Mozart. Holy music remembers us to follow only the best inside ourself
Has there ever been a more beautiful piece of music than this?
On a level with his Flute and Harp concerto
My favorite of Mozart's, and that's really saying something.

موسيقى جميلة تأخذك بعيدا جدا حيث الصفاء والنقاء، كل شيء مرتب بذوق رفيع، وانسياب النغمات، كل شيء جميل بل رائع. ❤

Heavenly
Mrs. Kam plays on a modern Basset clarinet by Buffet Crampon, Boehm system
Bravissimo Kam
The second movement is the theme of one of saddest movies, Padre Padrone, by the Taviani brothers.
Großartig!
Fantastic!
