Mozart's Clarinet Concerto remains one of the most popular classical pieces ever written. It achieves an exalted level of musical perfection – conveying the most profound emotions in a stream of seamless musical poetics. Mozart's Clarinet Quintet sparkles with beauty - the liquid grace of the opening movement, the Larghetto's timeless poise, the playful mannerisms of the Minuet and the exquisite theme and variations finale. The essential humanity of Mozart's creative spirit is everywhere apparent in this recording - his music remains a guiding beacon of sanity in an increasingly uncertain world. This repertoire is the perfect showcase for the virtuoso talents of Katherine Lacy, the acclaimed principal clarinettist of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which accompanies her in the Concerto, directed by RPO Leader Duncan Riddell. The Chamber Soloists of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra perform alongside Katherine Lacy in the Clarinet Quintet.
