In the early 19th century the clarinet was still rarely heard as a solo instrument. The two brothers Bärmann, Heinrich and Carl, were the first German virtuosos on the instrument and it was for them that Mendelssohn wrote two Konzertstücke with clarinet. These highly attractive, 3-movement works are written for clarinet, basset horn and piano and display all the instrumental virtuosity the Bärmanns were capable of.
Also presented here are the Clarinet Sonata and a variety of arrangements for clarinet and piano of Mendelssohn’s famous Lieder Ohne Worte and two movements from the Scottish and Italian symphonies, delightful instrumental gems!
