Mozart: Clarinet Quintet in A major, K581
01. I. Allegro
02. II. Larghetto
03. III. Menuetto
04. IV. Allegretto con Variazioni
05. Widmann: Clarinet Quintet
Hardly any combination of instruments is more appealing than a string quartet and a clarinet; together they make a magical melange. The Hagen Quartet and Jörg Widmann have recorded Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, a “work among friends”, in this irresistible blend. Jörg Widmann, clarinettist and composer in equal measure, picks up on the omnipresent themes of “floating, love, and chant” in Mozart’s notes and creates a weighty counterpart to Mozart’s popular work with his own clarinet quintet, which is available here in a world premiere recording.
