Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Oboe Concerto, Bassoon Concerto
Alfred Prinz and Karl Bohm take leisurely tempos in the outer movements of Mozart's clarinet concerto, offering a ripe, warmly expressive reading of the piece. With the Vienna Philharmonic providing lovely support in the tuttis, this wonderful account still stands very near the top of the list of recorded Mozart. The remastering is excellent, and with three of Mozart's wind concertos packed onto it, all in first-rate performances, this mid-price disc is an outstanding value.--Ted Libbey
