Mozart / Brahms: Clarinet Quintets
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
The Emersons and clarinetist Shifrin emphasize smoothness of line and a creamy blend of sound in this polished 1997 performance of the Mozart quintet. Tempos are ideal, giving Mozart's luxurious, long-breathed yet fragile melodies plenty of time to unfold without sacrificing animation or expressive point. Understatement rules in this interpretation, which is all the more intense and poignant because of it. The coupling is a rich, ripe, romantic account of the Brahms quintet, conveyed with passionate address and in a manner more conversational and polyphonic, less homogeneous in sound, than most. It is a dramatic and eventful reading, but one in which lyricism and beauty of tone are never sacrificed. --Ted Libbey

Excellent.......2006-02-11
This is an outstanding recording of these superb works. The Mozart Clarinet Quintet is simply a masterpiece. The Emerson and the clarinetist, David Shifrin, are wonderful. The Brahms quintet is performed just as well.
Clarinet Magic.......2005-08-11
Actually I am not a fan of chamber music but these two clarinet quintets, especially the Brahms one, are really superb. I cant get enough of them and keep listening to them over and over to the extent that I wore out the CD and had to buy this new one.
Excellent interpretation of Mozart.......2002-03-27
This cd is absolutely amazing. The Emerson String Quartet's Mozart playing is absolutely thrilling. Simply the best quartets around and is reflected through their work on this CD.
Also with the Brahms clarinet quintet on this recording, it shows that the quartet is extremely agile in their ability to switch styles and play it with such passion, something Brahms requires much of.
Simply Spectacular.......2002-02-28
Emerson and Shifrin make these two already perfect pieces even more spectacular than they already are. Emerson's sound is so rich and lush which lends a spectacular quality to quintets. They really get the ideal Mozartian and Bramsian qualities across in their playing. The music is subtle in it's qualities and the quintet emphasizes this. David Shifrin is flawless in his playing. He gets a rich dark sound and interprets the music perfectly. He and Emerson are a great match....they understood these two pieces and brought them out in their performance. It is just excellent all around!
Tasteful performance? No way..........2001-06-24
The opening of the Clarinet quintet by Mozart is so beautiful and pure. The smooth sound of the clarinet and the organ-like writing for the strings. Why do we let our modern playing technique ruin this opening? Why do we have to play with vibrato on EVERY note? WHY!? What is the problem? What IS good taste? Is it to treat all music the same? Mozart's own father writes in his violin school that musicians that plays with a lot of vibrato sounds like they have the fever! We know that even the 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim, who were a friend of Brahms, didn't use vibrato much at all. So what's going on? This is fact: We have no real traditions! The way we play music today has nothing to do with the way musicians once played the music of the composers of their own time. We have no respect and no interest in the sound world that Beethoven or Mozart lived in. The reasons why they wrote the music the way they did! I am tired of this arrogant relation to music that many of "the great" artists have today. No, pick up the Joseph Joachim violin school and learn how to play Brahms and you will definetely find some amazing aspects of his music that no one else cares about. The Eroica Quartet (Harmonia Mundi) is a brilliant new ensemble who plays the romantic repertoire with a fresh and intelligent attitude. Check it out! Also check out the amazing recording of the clarinet quintet by L'archibudelli (Sony Classical) on period instruments and compare the sound, the phrasing and the overall music-making with the Emerson recording and you will see my point! Or else, there is no meaning playing music by old masters who actually had real intentions!

Assorted pearls of peaceful music, artfully strung together.......2007-07-07
"Sarabande" is defined as a slow dance in triple metre usually found in baroque intrumental suites. There are 2 actual sarabandes in this refreshing collection: "Partita No. 1 in B flat major" by Bach, and "Oboe Concerto No. 3 in G minor" by Handel, hence the cd title. However, the other non-Baroque composers and their works do not detract at all from the unity of this easily-flowing composite of peaceful music. Some may object to extracting these adagios, intermezzos, andantes and such, from their whole compositions and beading them together into a sort of musical string of pearls. But I must argue that I feel it works in this case. To be honest, I purchased this collection because I am so enamored with Greig's "Last Spring, Op. 34, No. 2." It is one of his short pieces for string orchestra, and has a lovely, elegic quality. With the music sampler available to aid in the buying decision, "Sarabande" is sure to be worth its terrific price.

Brahms Quintet is a Winner !!.......2004-01-04
This rendition of the Brahms Quintet with the Melos Ensemble and Gervase DePeyer (Clarinet solo)is wonderful. The Melos Ensemble and DePeyer have a long musical history and it shows. As a group they play well together, not as a string group and a solo clarinet. The group projects a warmth that is hard to describe. Highly recommended !!

Marvelous Brahms and Mozart (but in mono).......2005-01-16
Alfred Boskovsky, the clarinetist here, is the younger brother of the legendary Willy Boskovsky, the once-concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic and one of the greatest Johann Strauss conductors of recent times. Alfred, too, was a member of the VPO and he founded the Vienna Octet in the 1940s, a group that made marvelous chamber recordings for a quarter of a century.
These performances date from the early 1950s, and indeed brother Willy is the first violinist in both pieces. These clarinet quintets, of course, are the absolute cornerstone of clarinet and strings chamber music literature and they are given loving and expert attention here. Of particular note are the extraordinary dynamic nuances that these musicians provide, along with fluid tempi and natural phrasing. And, of course, as befits VPO musicians the intonation is, to my ears, extraordinary. Add to that the incredible warmth of these performances and you have really irresistible recordings. It matters not to me that this CD is in mono--exceptional sound from Testament, but mono nonetheless--but it might bother others. Hence the four-star rating. I wouldn't want to be without other recordings of the Brahms and Mozart clarinet quintets (Reginald Kell/Budapest Qt., Karl Leister/Leipzig Qt.) but I wouldn't want to be without this one, either.

Brahms/Mozart Clarinet Quintets.......2005-08-18
This is an excellent recording of the above pieces. The musicians play well together and the clarinetist has tone and technique. Their interpretations of the music in both composer's cases are excellent. Being a clarinetist myself I know what to listen for and Mr. Campbell's style is wonderful. I highly recommend this recording.
