Anton Reicha - Clarinet Concerto in G-minor (1815) 

Here's another example of a very competent composer who is largely forgotten except for his wind quintets. Fortunately people are digging up much of this forgotten literature.

I've never hard a second movment Andante end quite like this. Awesome piece of music never the less.

I'm absolutely in love with the clarinet solo from 19:55 - 20:50. It's perfect - mysterious and enchanting, and the theme that follows it has quickly become an ear-worm for me.

Wonderful piece sounding more like an early romantic symphony with lots of solo clarinet writing, fun! Full sym. orchestra accompaniment creatively written, interwoven with clarinet virtuosic riffs, not just background for a pile of solo clarinet notes. Around 26:01 with bassoon almost reminding us of a Tchaikovsky symphony ... leading into a strong finale. Great! D. Klocker deserves a commendation for exposing this traditionally forgotten but valuable & fun clarinet music of Czech / Bohemian composers. And KuhlauDilfeng (1,2,3,4) for uploading it for all to hear!

this is very exiting stuff... It's nice to discover the lesser known(but still just as good) alternatives to classic Mozart and Weber :)

Heard a Reicha quintet on the radio and came here for more. Dont know how much of this is Reicha and how much is reconstructed, the Gershwin sounding cadenza for example.

Like first light at dawn, this music opens the eyes to new promise and all the wonders of nature. Evocative of belief in the beyond and powers beyond observation, this concerto tugs heart strings, pulls at the nostalgic, and wakens dormant loves, lives and wonders

Fabelachtig hoe goed hier wordt gespeeld.

Wonderful performance gives me the energy of the life. Thank you.

the most substantial clarinet concerto I have ever hoid!!!!!.

MAGNIFICO MUSICO SOLIDO LLENO SE SENSIBILIDAD , EL CUADRO QUE LO ILUSTRA ES SOBERBIO...............................DE CHILE

This is just delightful! I'm so glad I happened upon it. Thanks for posting!

Гениальный одногодка и приятель Бетховена и к тому же - уникальный полифонист своего времени Антон Рейха)))

18:47 HAH now that sounds familiar....

Great concerto NOT written by a clarinetist and it shows! Quality music in all aspects. Just finished Crusell's (clarinetist's) concertos, what a difference!

simply beautiful music

Sehr schönes Konzert, in dem die Melodik und der Ausdruck abwechslungsreich einen weiten Bogen von kraftvoll bis gefühlvoller Ruhe umspannt und auch instrumentuale Virtuosität verlangt. Muth thanks for loading.

So beautiful ! Thanks for sharing :)

Wonderful piece of music! I love the sound of the clarinet!

Un compositor para mi desconocido que vale la pena conocerlo más. Este concierto es un ejemplo a seguir

bellisimo concierto, gracias

Very richly orchestrated.

2:19 clarinet solo starts

His solo writing goes above and beyond yet does not cede to romantic tackiness.

Love it!!!!❤

Una meravella

Wonderful!

That fast section on the clarinet around 14:00 :0

love the clarion and chalumeau

Delightful.

Esecutore eccezionale

18:48 The beginning of "Rhapsody in blue", by Gershwin. 109 years before... 😁

A very few clarinetists dared to play this concerto!

I highly recommend getting that disc or high quality audio, RU-vid really wrecks the quality while sound realisation of the recording is first class.

It's not what you would call a conventional piece is it. Academics are usually very conservative, encouraging respect for established methods and being aggressive towards anyone seeking to defy tradition.

Very enjoyable, thanks

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Magnifique.

Thank you for another listen-worthy work, Dilfeng! Why did it need the "reconstruction" carried out by E.Buschmann?

ライヒャはクラリネット協奏曲作曲してたのですね！ｗ（￣△￣；）ｗおおっ！

Thanks for letting me hear that. I didn´t know that Reicha had wroten a clarinettconcerto. unfonattely it is not in clas with Weber, Crusell and others but it is worth playing. Dieter Klöcker made a good job to bring forward unknown music for the instrument. More clarinettist should do the same if they whant to have the clarinett as an soloinstrument.

Hi, where can I get this concert?

I've been told that Reicha experimented with different time signatures in his late career. Can a kind scholar here refer me to a piece with such experiments?

Josef birthday and my moms the same. Happy birthday mom.

Beautiful Music - thank you! But whose misanthropic idea was it to interrupt it with mindless and irritating ads.?

Wonderful stuff. However, what is the painting?

This is the best

Is there any source where one can buy the score of this?

The Rondeau is marked "Allegretto".

I've not had much luck finding sheet music for this - does any exist?

The second movement is not written by Reicha - it is written by Iwan Muller (a clarinetist)

I thank Buddha for such a wonderful work.

He was a friend of Beethoven's

Pour tous les amoureux de ce compositeur, j'ai réalisé une vidéo sur sa vie : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K4bY_j20wNM.html&t

it sounds like mozart

despite having lived roughly the same timespan as Beethoven, Reicha is far more neoclassical than him

I read that he was a Beethoven's friend.

11:14 , 19:51

It is very good . But not recognised . We most of us are not not !

Unfinished work

Strange that no Czech clarinet artist or other has recorded (better) this Concerto ... Klöcker seems to be the owner of the score.
