Mozart Clarinet Concerto on accordion!?

So I got in my car to run some typical Saturday afternoon errands with my radio tuned to NPR. I heard the familiar orchestral accompaniment to the Mozart Clarinet Concerto Rondo movement. But what is that solo instrument? Oboe? No it's too low. That's got to be English horn. Wait that high part sounds like flute. Nope. Now it sounds like flute and oboe in unison. Could it be accordion? It kind of sounds like accordion, but I must be mistaken. Accordions never play concertos with symphony orchestras. It's got to be some weird arrangement for English Horn and flute. In my mind I'm thinking it kind of works, but I sort of feel robbed when the C instruments steal one of the few classical concertos written for clarinet. They already have more we do. Anyways, I have any NPR "driveway moment" and wait to hear the announcer. Yes, it was indeed the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with the solo part played on the accordion and accompanied by a symphony orchestra playing the normal orchestral part. Who knew?
