Hi, I'm looking for a really bad recording of the Mozart concerto, to compare with a very good one. I have very good recordings, but what's the worst that you've ever heard?

I'll see if I can dig up the church performance I did when I was 12 for you...no offense but IMHO, what a complete waste of time, but then again it's your time to waste.

Ken beat me to it ,but I was going to offer to record one for you in glorious monoral sound for 150 bucks ( I have to bribe my cousin Vinnie 2 six packs of Old Milwakee to play the piano part). An orchestra version will cost more (i.e. more beer) and take longer. Our local conductor ,Whoopie John is on tour with his Polka Band.

I have a recording of the first movement as recorded by myself....it REALLY sucks. Bad intonation, bad tonality, bad phrasing, everything. I have a decent one of me, but I have to re-record it. Email me, and I'll send it to ya.

Try the Lancelot recording,,,i think he has a cold...try the version i did with the Weiner Schnitzel Oom Pah Pola band back in Poughkeepsie in the summer of 67. Man you could buy a box of reeds for two bucks and still afford beer after the concert.

I happen to think Lancelot's version is among the better ones.

Ken, for all you know this could be for a piece of written assessment at uni/college. I know that every now n then at my uni we have to compare and contrast different recordings of a work. I think one of the worst I have heard is Emma Johnson but thats only my opinion.

Thea King.
She's made some good recordings, but this isn't one of them. She was struggling with a desperately bad prototype Selmer basset A clarinet. I played it at the Clarinet Congress in London, and it was like trying to get an elephant to tapdance. It was so bad that Ted Planas (who had been in on the design) made them take it off the display so people wouldn't associate it with him. Poor Thea had to work so hard to get the notes out that she had nothing left for making music.
Vladimir Riha's recording is not so hot, either. His sound is like a waterlogged kazoo.
Gigliotti's recording sounds like the world's best high school player. Fast, perfect and blank.
:-(

Sharon Kam/Teldec made a record, which should be undone. There is nothing...

There is a version from Vigil Sampedro which is very very chirrisping and it seems the alemanierings to coming from barbate.
He make dotted notes as sabaņones because he apreta el culo pa que vibre bien...

Actually Karl Leister with Karajan in 71 is lacking in character l in spite of the great tone its like needing spices for your chilli and not having a beer at hand. Strangely I have always found leister's Mozart a little cold and too austere.

An added note on Leister's recording: i have found the sound on this CD to maybe be the problem with the sound coming off a little opaque (and this may be a factor in my feelings about this record.) The one with Marriner later in 83 is much better so audio may figure into my criticisms.......yes I admire Leister's tone greatly!!!!
