Brahms, Mozart: Clarinet Quintets; plus Baermann: Adagio

Mono recording and claustrophobic acoustics are a high price to pay for the polished suavity of Alfred Boskovsky, clarinet, and his brother Willi’s quartet. Baermann, once mis-attributed unbelievably to Wagner (though nearer Bellini), is a delightful curio. George Pratt
