COMPOSERS: Pleyel
LABELS: CPO
WORKS: Octet in C; Trio in D, Op. 10/2; Trio concertant in E flat
PERFORMER: Consortium Classicum/Dieter Klöcker (clarinet)
CATALOGUE NO: 999 743-2 ADD Reissue (1974)
Three genial works from Haydn’s talented pupil. Though rarely original, Pleyel was a fine craftsman – witness the Octet’s adroit Allegro molto and mellow Adagio, the pithy String Trio, the flowing, Mozartian Wind Trio. Klöcker’s affectionate 1974 performances still sound fresh. Graham Lock
