Ho accompagnato al pianoforte un giovane clarinettista e devo dire che questo concerto non mi stanca mai!

[@eugeniotattoli5396]

So strong, big Aron!

Beautiful!!! Dude!! OMG'oodness, love your tone in that concert hall. I'm gonna have this on continuous replay. Very well done! Amazing in so many ways considering the level of difficulty of this piece. You plant your feet & command every moment on that stage. Soloist power well delivered. I studied this piece many years ago, & this performance is really captivating. Man, that is so darn good! Just an amazing sound, so kudos to the orchestra & the sound engineers. Finally, that pace demonstrates an incredible skill & talent. BRAVO!!!!

Magnificent performance and magnificent playing

[@spencercallaway2008]

beautiful piece. i am playing the 3rd movement for my ameb certificate of performance. it is so fun to play

[@Musix4me-Clarinet]

Wonderful playing! Congratulations to Aron. Though it does not compare, I prepared this piece to audition for Dr. Stephen Johnston. I was so in love with these pieces and he did his doctoral work on the clarinet concerti of Spohr. Curious, we never studied any of the Spohr concerti! As an aside, this is a prime example of why someone dreadfully needs to create a full clarinet length stick swab that can be mounted on a base. I, unfortunately, am also a wet mouth player. I often get water in the upper joint tone holes. How convenient and reassuring it would be to simply slide the clarinet down once and be ready to go.

[@MichaelAlexander1967]

Yes, you are absolutely right, but somehow in some magical way, the performance is still amazing.

[@harryandruschak2843]

A wonderful performance of a sadly neglected composer.

[@JanVrehen1]

De muzikale uitvoering is prachtig. Bravo. De opname kan echter veel zorgvuldiger. Werk aan de winkel voor de geluidstechnicus en de dirigent om de totaal balance beter te vinden. Het orkest speelt ietwat te luid zo hier en daar , en drukt de klarinettist iets weg. Maar uiteraard artistiek erg mooi.

Excellent performance !!

[@stefanosepe3780]

This is a beautiful piece

[@WilfriedBerk]

Great perfomance !

[@biagiocarrieri7583]

🔝👏👏👏

[@alessandrosoldani8633]

Grandissimo

[@J34U2]

Great clarinetist, however, balance is off between solo and orchestra in MANY important phrases and passages and there seems to be a lack of connection between soloist and orchestra for a live performance.

[@MoscowClarinetQuartet]

Very nice!

[@ZZiomualdiss]

Wonderfull

[@michelhugonnot9718]

Spohr a ete un grand oublie des concertos pour clarinette, tou comme Stamitz.

[@salvatoreschembari2700]

Bravissimo

[@pauswing]

But this boy is in a hurry, always ahead of the orchestra's tempo.

[@stefanosepe3780]

But in this performance is so fast and I don't like it

[@quanhoangclarinettist6225]

Agree. I would prefer taking slightly more time with this concerto. This is still a very nice performance, nonetheless.

[@Tiggster-qr8mw]

Yall played it well. Just too bad that the piece itself sounds like it was AI-generated.

[@usif4482]

Much too fast.. Listen to Ottensamer for a correct interpretaion
