COMPOSERS: Rosetti
LABELS: CPO
WORKS: Clarinet Concerto No. 1; Clarinet Concerto No. 2; Concerto in F for Two Horns
PERFORMER: Dieter Klöcker (clarinet), Klaus Wallendorf, Sarah Willis (horn); SWR SO/Holger Schröter-Seebeck
CATALOGUE NO: 999 621-2
All three works here date from the early 1780s and clearly demonstrate that there is more to this period than Mozart. The highlight of the disc is the double horn concerto, which is performed superbly. Dieter Klocker’s playing is brilliantly efficient but rather charmless. Tim Payne
