Mozart Clarinet Concerto
Reginal Kell / Zimbler Sinfonietta
My two favorite clarinetists are Reginal Kell, featured here, and Gervase de Peyer. This recording from 1949, issued on this 10 inch Decca LP in 1950 is a beautiful example of the art of the former, paired with the Zimbler Sinfonietta, a select group of Boston Symphony Orchestra players of the period. The playing is Mozartian and stylish, though still hearty enough to give the authentic instrument crowd the vapors.
The Zimbler personnell are listed thus:
Violins: E. Kornsand, G. Zazofsky, H. Dubbs, V. Resnikoff, N. Lauga, H. Dickson, C. Knudsen, M. Zung, H. Silberman, S. Benson Violas: Joseph De Pasquale, J. Cauhape, A. Bernard. Celli: J. Zimbler, S. Mayes, H. Droeghmans. Double Bass: H. Portnoi.
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major K 467
Robert Casadesus / Charles Munch
Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra of New York
Here is a full blooded performance of the K467 piano concerto of Mozart with that incomparable Mozartian, Robert Casadesus, accompanied by Charles Munch leader the NY Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra.
I should point out that the Casadesus Munch recording of the Mozart No. 21 concerto is the same recording, though earlier release, of the flip side of another Casadesus recording with Barbarolli and the NY. PHilharmonic. I was unable to post that side because it did not track.
