 Mozart Concerto - An Important New Recording
Author: Ken Shaw ★2017
Date:   2009-05-25 23:29

An important new recording of the Mozart Concerto has recently appeared on Harmonia Mundi HMC 901980 http://www.amazon.com/Last-Concertos-Wolfgang-Amadeus-Mozart/dp/B000XQHQWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1243293026&sr=8-1, also downloadable for 99ยข per movement.

It's by Lorenzo Coppola playing a 9-key basset clarinet with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. There have been several recordings on similar clarinets, but this is several steps beyond what's gone before.

First, the orchestra plays "solo and ripieno," with all the strings playing in the passages without the clarinet, but cutting back to a string quartet (plus wind parts) whenever Coppola plays. This allows him to play without having to push the instrument.

Second, Coppola is the first player I've heard who sounds as though he began on the old instrument rather than adapting a modern sound and blowing style.

Third, he handles the cross-fingerings with complete confidence and smoothness, even at a really brisk tempo in the finale.

Fourth, his musicality is very fine.

I don't like everything -- he sometimes blasts on the basset notes, for example -- but its one revelation after another.

The CD also has Mozart's last piano concerto (#27 in Bb, K. 595) with Andreas Staier, which is similarly amazing.
