The history of the Clarinet concertos goes back to the middle of the 18th century, when the instrument got its prominent solo place in the orchestra. The present-day form of the clarinet is derived from the chalumeau, a folk instrument played by shepherds. Technical improvements by Denner, Boehm and Klos? gave it its modern form. Ever since its multi faced timbre, from soothingly murmuring to nervously chattering, has won a large popularity and has inspired many composers to write extensively for it.This 14-disc set encompasses the full spectrum of concertante clarinet writing: an extensive collection of Clarinet Concertos, from the very first concertos by Molter, the most famous one by Mozart, Hoffmeister, Baermann, Stamitz, Krommer, Crusell, Mercadante, Rietz, Rossini, Bruch, Weber, Stanford, and well into the 20th century with Hindemith, Busoni, Finzi, Copland and Tansman.Played by world renowned clarinetist like Dieter Kl?cker, Sharon Kam, K?lm?n Berkes, Davide Bandieri, Maria du Toit and Giovanni Punzi.Another treasure trove in the successful series of Brilliant Classics instrument Boxes!
