Crusell: Clarinet Concertos Nos. 1, 2 & 3


Martin Fröst (clarinet)

Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Okko Kamu

On the strength of his fine musicianship, his unusually inspiring and often unconventional performances and a long series of highly acclaimed recordings, Martin Fröst has become recognized as one of today’s most interesting wind-players.

Martin Fröst’s latest offering consists of the three concertos by Bernhard Henrik Crusell, the almost exact contemporary of Weber. Crusell developed a reputation on the continent as one of the greatest virtuosos on the clarinet, and his three concertos were printed by prestigious publishing houses in Leipzig. Charming and spirited, these works also make great demands on the performer.

Henk de Graaf (clarinet)

Members of the Daniel Quartet

Crusell is a name known to every lover of clarinet music. That is his concertos for this instrument are well-loved and –known. These compositions rank among the best written for the instrument. But who has ever heard chamber music by this most significant Finnish composer of the Classical period, who, not surprisingly, was a clarinettist himself. Clarinet players have to make do with a relatively small number a really great works. Among his many activities Dutch clarinettist Henk de Graaf is always on the lookout for lesser-known repertoire. For instance he earlier recorded five clarinet concertos by Johann Melchior Molter. On this record De Graaf presents three quartets for clarinet and strings by Bernhard Crusell. Not much is know about the genesis of these pieces. The earliest reference dates from 1803, Crusell was 28, the year he travelled to France from his residential Stockholm, where he would be a court musician all his life. Crusell’s musical style conforms to the ‘Viennese Classicism’ combined with traces of French opera, repertoire he must he played with the court orchestra. Unlike his concertos these quartets are not really demanding for the performers. However, they still are delightful pieces to listen to.
