My first love was the clarinet. When I was a little girl I watched this video infinite times crying my heart out for such glorious music. Although I didn’t pursue a musical career, this instrument stuck with me through life. A coupe of years ago, I was holding a theater Master’s degree entrance exam at a prestigious university in Berlin. That very same day they told me I didn’t get in. So before leaving the city, I wandered through the halls of that historic building. Suddenly, I started hearing the melody to the second movement of this sonata. I followed the sound. When I found the door it came from, I read the following: “Prof. François Benda - Music Studio”. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I stayed for an hour hearing across the door how he tutored one of his pupils. Never saw him but it was more than I could ever wish for. My heart was full with nostalgia and joy. That was one of the most unfortunate but still fortunate days of my life.
Bach, Beethoven e Brahms. Le tre B della musica tedesca!!! Esecuzione splendida che rende appieno la malinconia della musica del Grande Maestro di Amburgo!!! Io da quando ho suonato il 1 libro delle variazioni su un tema di Paganini al diploma di pianoforte nel 1984, ho mantenuto intatta la mia venerazione per Brahms! Grazie. Giuseppe Perego Monza
Brahms often stayed at the Schloss Elisabethenburg, in Meiningen. In fact it was there he was inspired, by the von Weber clarinet concerto and the Mozart clarinet quintet, to write his late masterpieces for the instrument, among them this sonata.
Great playing!!! Interesting - a kind of French sound on an Albert clarinet? Anyway, who cares about stylistic traditions - great playing is great playing!

the empty hall sounds terrible. If this is in Meiningen, why are they playing on inauthentic equipment? Mühlfeld's clarinet is kept quasi next door. There are also excellent replicas at the correct pitch of 435 hz. I doubt that Brahms would have come out of retirement for clarinet playing like that. All that embarrassing body movement can't cover a quite disappointing listlessness. Listening to Leopold Wlach by comparison makes that quite clear.

it was a romatic story
I remember him as a child, in Brazil, where he grew up, as his mother is Brazilian.

Jeff Howard I think he plays a reform boehm
exquisite intimacy
Who would have predicted that Britney Spears’ Toxic and butts would be used as an introduction to one of Brahms’ last masterpieces. 😂
why the pianist looks so small?
Could it be that Mr. Benda is at least 6 ' 6" tall??
@@chokibert That's also why the clarinet looks so small, like an E-flat.
That Glenn Gould posture.

una sfumatura di vibrato non avrebbe potuto essere falso;-)
Why is this clarinetist playing with e-flat clarinet?
What are you talking about? It's a b-flat clarinet as usual.
Feisenbach it s a joke..
