Love the authentic period instruments - wonderful performance 🎶

[@FlexingClassicalMusic]

Classical music possesses an unparalleled ability to transport the listener to different realms, creating a sanctuary of refined beauty and emotional depth.

[@carolpickup6048]

Having watched the concert so many times we are always entertained, impressed and proud. We have just read all the comments and feel that we have been remiss in not adding ours. You are special. Love Mum and Dad Pickup

[@Yuppie.Mike.]

I am impressed the new Bassett clarinets need to be redesigned. The tone of this clarinet especially the low notes is so impressive. Saving it to my playlist. Performance is also wonderful.

[@patriciagraham2287]

Isn't Mozart's music wonderful? Aren't these musicians wonderfull too? Lovely performace, thank you all. Love it!

Великое произведение Моцарта в прекрасном исполнкнии❤.

Excellent performer,well done Zhe orchestra,Thank you

[@andreakesseler9983]

Mozart's wunderbares aber auch sehr herausforderndes Klarinettenkonzert in A-Dur. Herausragend interpretiert von diesem absolut virtuosen Solisten und dem Ensemble. Vorgetragen auf der Basset - Klarinette in Original - Tonlage. Ich glaube, Mozart wäre hiervon sehr begeistert gewesen ! Wirklich einzigartig!

[@maiechaefer]

Wunderbar! Das Adagio ist die schönste Melodie aller Zeiten! Musik von einem andern Stern! Danke fürs Hochladen❤ Gruss aus der Schweiz....Ruth

That clarinet is so unique. Look like Native American's smoking pipe.

[@lieslstoltz2448]

Beautiful in every way..otherworldly.

[@anniehelman3516]

Fantastic sound, strikingly beautiful low notes especially. Best rendition of this concerto I ever heard, and I've heard plenty of them!

[@hedahedoh4488]

I'm not quite sure who made the statement about Mozart's last Concerto, but it is appropriate here: There are only very few things in life that are perfect. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is one of them. Den Stadler heroben freuts auch wie Robert spielt.

[@knd1940]

Thank you! This has everything - a real basset clarinet, a first rate solist, and an excellent ensemble. Beautifully played.

[@Suedtirolinconcert]

Thank You!

[@ralphellenburgjr9742]

This has been one of my favorite concertos. This is my favorite performance. Brilliance and joy. Thanks for adding it.

[@cavaliereramingo]

And the horns too! No valves: so difficult to play.

[@huntertice3883]

@@cavaliereramingo wouldn't the lack of valves make them easier to play?

[@jaysparc]

@cavaliereramingo the exact opposite my friend.

[@musikerman52]

Thank you for this marvelous performance, and with a very demanding instrument. Even with a modern A-clarinet it is a work to struggle to master, not to mention this basset clarinet with fewer clefs etc. And with that range, you get all the parts in right height, to contrast with the orchestra part. Also the orchestra without conductor - a real chamber music joy and conversation! Mozarts best concerto (not only by the clarinet players, but also others) gets a performance worth it, no doubt. Vielen Danke! Bravo! (at the end - what a beautiful and well earned gesture of the virtuoso clarinet player to thank the principal violin player and the orchestra first, before bowing to the audience - a gentleman indeed!)

[@patriciocristobalgallardoz341]

One of the most wonderful scores of the music history. Marvellous, on period instruments and period clarinet

[@johchry]

Absolut einmaliges Ensemble mit einem großartigen Solisten. Als Klarinettist habe ich das Konzert wohl tausende Mal gehört und selbst gespielt. Mein Lehrer wäre begeistert! Freigemacht von bisherigen Hörgewohnheiten und die originale Notation ernst genommen! Brilliant!

[@barbarabarry3799]

I heard it again and it was even more wonderful. The basset clarinet sound is so beautiful and even throughout the registers, the orchestral playing excellent with specially good finely phrasing in cellos and bass, and natural horns.

[@jfthiesen2947]

Amazing! A balm for the soul

[@rezzab]

Wonderful, we can all listen to this over and over again I wonder how many times Mozart heard it.

[@F-Man]

Odds are, probably only 3-5 times. The piece was completed and premiered in October 1791. There’d have been a rehearsal - perhaps just one - and then the public performances, which Mozart likely would have directed. We don’t know how many performances there were - maybe just one, perhaps two or three, but there weren’t many. When Mozart died in December 1791, the piece was not published, and the autograph score had been given to Anton Stadler, for whom the piece is thought to have been written.

[@barbarabarry3799]

Wonderful lightness and phrasing! The return of the main melody in the slow movement was so beautiful. Thank you for posting this performance.

[@evanvarns4785]

This is now my new favorite recording of this concerto; bravi tutti! I was blessed to be able to perform the third movement with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra back in 2007 (I really wish there were a recording, but alas, none exists); I thought I did a pretty damn good job of it (certainly as good as I was capable of at the time), but THIS is the interpretation and the sound I would have wanted - and I think what Mozart himself would have intended. Extraordinarily well done!

[@robinsimmons3788]

Sublime and superb. As G.B. Shaw said about another musician "Such perfection angers the Gods, I recommend you play a few wrong notes every day to appease them!" And the same applies to your performance Robert... and I liked the way you kept dropping your left arm away whenever you did'nt need it - very wise. So expressive. Many thanks (this must be the 10th time I have played it).

[@brennanhamilton-smith3984]

Wow. This is just sublime. I'm curious about the variations on the written melody especially in the recapitulation in the second movement. Are they original variations added by Robert? I assume theres a great amount of research that goes into historical ornaments as well. They are stunning and really add so much personality and joy. As someone who has only played it the "normal" way (whatever that means) I was so surprised and overjoyed by every liberty taken. Love the use of the leg to cover the lowest hole too!

Shame it never got more mainstream use and that so few people play this on the correct instruments. Such a spirited and thoughtful performance of such a pensive work.

So few people play this on the “correct” instruments because those “correct” instruments are extremely few and hard to come by. It’s not like every clarinetist has one of these sitting next to their desk.
