Great clarinet recordings 2
Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115
Karl Leister- Clarinet with the Amadeus Quartet
Beauty of tone and sustain. Wonderful interpretation by all including one of my favorite string quartets This quintet is one of the greatest pieces of chamber music ever written. In this recording it is played with great affection by Karl Leister who's clarinet tone has been the model to aspire to for many players. It seems that for many years North American players were aiming for this tone on their mostly french instruments. (myself included which is why I play Selmer Recitals).
Many think of Leister as having the definitive German clarinet tone. In fact at the time is was not considered to be traditional clarinet tone by other German players.
This LP recording Deutsche Grammophon 139354 was recorded in the 60's. It is still available on various Cd's combined with other pieces( Cd's being longer)
Sheet Music resource
I use this daily and have just renewed my membership. A years membership is the same as buying 1 book at the music store. The music comes with accompaniments at different tempos and the quantity of music you can download and play is staggering. For a family with kids in music it would be one of the best investments you could make
