Mozart: Clarinet Concerto in A major, K622
Spohr: Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in E flat, Op. 57
American clarinetist Jon Manasse delivers a buoyant reading of the clarinet concertos by W.A. Mozart and Ludwig Spohr. Manasse receives nimble support from the Seattle Symphony led by Gerard Schwarz. ‘At the centre was an absolutely first-rate clarinet soloist, Jon Manasse. He had the taste, the sound and the technique to project this most beguiling of wind instruments in one of its more beguiling repertory pieces’ – The New York Times
