As a clarinetist, I will definitely concur that this is one of Mozarts best musical concertos. I believe that the clarinet is an underrated instrument and this concerto depicts the clarinet's abilities to reach multiple octaves with beautiful clarity with angelic tone and sound.
I've been really depressed because I can't sleep, too much pressure to achieve a goal. It's an all or nothing type of goal. Anyway, I started listening to this, randomly, at 12:45am and my problems are being slowly lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I'm being transported to the 18th century countryside. Love you Mozart.
It is magnificent. I feel the same way about a lot of his music - piano concertos especially no 23 - flute and harp concerto - the magic flute ...... all are the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. How can you choose one when so many are exquisite? I wish he could have lived to be an old man.
Trust me you don't find it inspirational when you have to listen to it on repeat for your music gcse because the exam board insists on you knowing every detail about the piece.
Al adquirir auriculares actualizados, la sensación de melodías más nítidas es increíble al punto que no me atrevo a describir con exactitud. Lo que sí sé es que la tecnología le advierte a mi persona que el deterioro de facultades audiovisuales se pierde , no así el gusto por la belleza de la música...se siente mucho más!!!
Immersing oneself in the world of classical music is not just a listening experience; it's a profound encounter with the universal language of beauty and grace.

i swear i see you everywhere i go, i don’t know who you are but every single video, you’ve commented. any type of video, from motzarts clarinet concerto to meme time from jack sceptic eye, it’s driving me slightly insane but it’s now become a game where i try to spot you everywhere i go, thanks!
Not fishing for sympathy at all but this just sums up mozart. I visited my dad in hospital after his operation to remove a huge tumour. He was practically a vegetable for a few days. then made him put this piece on with headphones.. he simply came alive the result literally astounded me he began talking moving and responding. simply put I think it captures the essence of life.
Tears here, i think about my Dad too. he played it over and over again on clarinett for practice. monzart captured these memories for me forever. thanks for that.
same here. it brings back immortal memories and I know it may sound flakey but nobody can take that away because that's how it makes me feel. he died the other day and now even more I feel his presence when I listen to this as it conjured the same emotions in my dad which is why I know that he will have felt the same emotions listening to this. he's here with me when I play this.
I made a recording of music for my brother's funeral, the 2nd movement of this piece was included. I played the mix and my mother wanted to pull this piece as " too sad". I play his at least 1x/week and think of him each time.
you should listen to a piece of music called "nightengale 2" , it has the same subime quality as this movement. But the fascinating thing is if I asked you who composed it you would run through all the famous classical names and not get it. Its from Judy Collins (sweet Judy Blue Eyes) from 60s-70s fame!
This is actually 1 of the 2 greatest clarinet pieces that Mozart wrote. The other one was the Clarinet Quintet in A. This is also the best version of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto that I ever heard. Thanks for posting this guys.
This shows how the joyful character of Mozart's music has evolved into a more mature - almost exquisitely haunting, wistful - sweetness. What a pity his life was cut short soon after writing this.
the 2nd movement really encapsulates what you mention. i've even found it painful to listen to at times. it's just so haunting and emotionally rich. That said, the other movements are exquisite as well!
I think Mozart wrote 600 music compositions! This has to be among the top ones, but they are all like a meteor blazing across the sky with colors of rubies, diamonds, sapphires and emeralds!
Late Mozart has such haunting passages that appear unexpectedly. Even the major keys seem to have a tinge of melancholy, like the second movement, for example.
14:15 Goosebumps. Chills. Every time. I am so happy that playing the clarinet and this solo led me to this recording because it is life-changing! Classical music is unappreciated by too many! But perhaps that’s why it is so special, only a select few truly enjoy it because it’s so different.
Dude, SAME! This recording was the first time I actually listened to this piece fully...and when it got to that moment, I was like..."SING Mozart, sing..." Just breathtakingly sublime!
What an emotionally charged piece. It is simply breathtaking. I just love it. The adagio movement makes me weep. i watched Out of Africa and they played bits of the adagio during the movie. I wept like a baby.
the 2nd movement often makes me cry. I once had the privilege to play violin in the orchestra for a performance of this. I could've died happy in that moment
I always cry at that scene. That movie won the Best Picture Oscar with that scene. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the movie is gorgeous too but I think they owe the Oscar to Mozart.
That timbre and that melody are just all together comforting. Ain't no nothing sounds like the Clarinet, and ain't no nothing like the melodies of Mozart.
First time I heard this concerto especially the 2nd movement many years ago I lay on the floor and wept. First for my father who was an excellent clarinet player and who taught me how to play. And second because I gave up playing the clarinet and went to the guitar. .
I can relate to that; I gave up piano for 10 years. At one point I felt I had wasted my time when I should be securing an income and that kind of thing... Then, after some difficult times, went buy my electric piano to try cheer me up. It's so wonderful to go play some notes when you feel like it.
over 20 years ago when i was a teenager just getting into classical music (and my obsession with mozart in its infancy), I bought a cheap CD of Mozart's music (the Masters of Classical Music series). It included the 2nd movement of the clarinet concerto. It confirmed what I was already becoming aware of, that Mozart's music trascends all and packs an emotional punch woven in its genius. For me, his music will always my most favourite. Mozart was able to express emotions we don't even have words for. I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there was one i would want to meet Mozart, hang out with him, play some piano duets, and just listen to his music for eternity...i feel like it would take that long to discover all of the nuances in his music. Each time I listen to a piece, whether it's a new recording of something i already know, or a recording I've had for ages, I always discover something new, some new feeling...
@@mistressmozart You are clearly experiencing the timelessness of Mozart's music, and are therefore experiencing transcendence. In your comments above, you have expressed how cool it would be to meet Mozart, hang out with him, and spend eternity exploring the nuances of his music. Through expressing this, you have acknowledged the possibility of an afterlife, even if you don't firmly believe in one. Your ability to ponder this is a clue that suggests that the finality of your and of all of humanity's current existence may not be the last word. It appears you are already considering the possibility of having experiences beyond your present mortality. Without getting into a theological discussion, you have communicated a depth of spirit that is itself transcendent.
@@jrnfw4060 it's interesting that you're so sure what I think and feel. I said I don't believe in an afterlife but it would be cool to meet him. Doesn't mean I believe it's possible or that it will happen. I don't. Stop projecting your beliefs onto me. Transcendence, as you put it, doesn't have to have a supernatural or other worldly cause or meaning behind it. You're selling the human experience short. We are capable of deep feeling without there being some made up reason for it
Szell is incredible. I was so lucky to grow up in Cleveland when he conducted. The clarinetist is excellent. Szell's mastery conducting the orchestra is masterful.
This is probably my favourite Mozart piece, despite being one of his last. I personally believe this shows haw mature he became in the last years of his life, after his father's death in 1787. This piece still shows some of his mischief, but is mostly sophisticated.
In this world of obliterated musical appreciation and little appreciation for classical music and its influence and diminishing influence to todays music. Grow you absorbent little fetus. Grow! and keep Growing!
The melody is dancing nobly. Aristocratic joy. Mozart's music makes all of us happy aristocrats. What Ibsen tried, he does. High spirits abound here for all. No matter who you are, this will make you feel life nobly.
Beautiful..... Mozart is Always a pleasure, delight to the ears. This clarinetist Marcellus is excellent musician, love the way he plays... perfect to amuse your soul when you feel blue.!
Like! I can offer you my vision of this brilliant work ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pKa5PdfyCbs.html along with beautiful nature videos. There are also many other interesting videos on my channel. If you like it, subscribe to my channel.
Without question, this is the best rendition of Mozart K622, bar none. Nobody can compare to Robert Marcellus in his flawless execution of every note played. Every note is beautifully executed to perfection, and you can clearly hear every note played with round and centered sound.
I was lucky enough to study clarinet with a member of the Cleveland Orchestra, I learned more about music, dynamics etc....I was lucky enough to study with Theodore Johnson who sat next to Marcellus....equally brilliant player.....
I played clarinet from grade school into my third year of college. I ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for the clarinet, and I find this concerto so enrapturing. Every time I hear it, I feel immersed in the gorgeous music, almost as one would be immersed in water. ❤❤❤❤❤ 🎶
My guess is that the thumbs down are from the predecessor lovers - "Music ended with Bach" - and the successor lovers - "Music began with Beethoven." This sick cat spit out stuff like this as if he were doing the laundry. His works for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon are touchstone concerti for those instruments.
@myAutoGen The adagio is one of the most sublimely beautiful and indescribably sad pieces of music ever written. It profoundly expresses what Mozart felt as he suspected he was approaching the end of his life. I'm at a complete loss as to how anyone could find it boring unless they were listening in an extremely superficial way.
Usually people who find the Adagio boring or the profound Unfinished Fugue from Art of Fugue to be boring, are those people who haven't experience grief, sadness, loss, despair and melancholy in life. Basically those are the people lived a very wealthy and materialistic but shallow life.
I have to say, even though this was one of his last compositions (his final being the mass for the dead in d minor, k.626) it really captures the essence and shows him at his most mature. I think it gives us a glimpse of what he could have written had he been given more time.
If there is a beautiful, kind, loving, warm and perfect piece than this and especially the adagio, I have not found it in 70 years of searching. So restful. So perfect! Wolfgang's adagio proves a benevolent God exists somewhere and certainly in the realm of music.
Can't exactly answer your question, but I can answer why people don't like it with just a couple of words: Not my type of music. It sounds great, yes, but I don't like this type of music for some reason. I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
Avana That's fine. We are free to not like things. For instance: I don't like Mexican telenovelas. Therefore I don't watch them. But I don't mosey on over to the telenovela section of youtube and start thumbing them down.
Geez I'm lucky, I haven't seen an ad in years. Oh yeah, I downloaded RU-vid ADBLOCK like 83 years ago. Seriously though, I highly recommend it; it works like a charm.
@@tat3917 Thanks my friend! I'll work something out regarding an ad blocker. I thought I did have one already installed so, if it is there, then maybe it needs refreshing. Anyway, who plants an advertisment in the middle of a Mozart concerto! I'd like to assume that a classical music fan had more about them!
@@phughes7719 As luck would have it, I played something yesterday on my cell and, lo and behold, a pop-up. I didn't know what it was until my son told me.
There are always the insane in this world. This is heaven and thank you to everyone who worked hard to bring this beautiful rendition of Mozarts work to us .
I am picking my clarinet up again after a 40 year hiatus. I am joining our community orchestra in January. Listening to the beautiful music, played so beautifully...nirvana.
The first time I heard this piece (the adagio specifically) was while watching the movie Green Card. I was in college at the time, studying horticulture/interning at the NYBG, in the conservatory. I'll never forget Andie McDowell's character (horticulturist) walking through the door, into her "dream" NYC apt. (complete with a glass house and rooftop garden) for the first time; dropping her bags, the look of awe on her face. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major k. 622, "adagio" was playing in the background. Brought tears to my eyes.
The second movement of this concerto is the most perfect piece of music ever written. It is framed by the opening and closing movements, and can exist because of them. A completely unique form of musical organization, one that only the greatest musical genius of all time, Mozart, could accomplish.
Why the hell would anyone put thumbs down to this magnificent concerto ? To earn his Masters Degree at Rice University in the 80’s my brother Rich Briglia had to play this piece by memory. Anyone who put is this piece doesn’t know F-- anout music .
Outstanding. So much emotion coming from one peice and one instrument at once it's as if I'm not allowed to tune out to which I do not object. One of my favorites without a doubt.
There is no such thing as the hit or miss with Mozart's music. All is great, splendid. The only problem would be the quality of the performances and the acoustics Mozart says 「This profile portrait is my favorite」 Mozart,s works are effulgent all the time in the world . Mozart,s works heal person,s suffering and sorrow . Mozart,s works purify my wavered mind .
Don't forget that Mozart was just a Quid when he starts composing. For me, he is one of the Best and I like Classicals and I Give my Homage to all Classic composers around the world. This is music that we will never forget.
ok now, heres my take. every instrument is amazing in its own way, and no instrument is objectively better than another. while the clarinet is a wonderful wind instrument, it is in no way the "greatest". that title may never actually be held by one instrument.
Tout les instruments ont les plus beaux sons, c'est le talent du musicien couplé au compositeur qui va le rendre exceptionnelle. Mozart composait à la perfection. Zéro erreur. Il y a beaucoup de très bons compositeurs mais Mozart était et reste encore aujourd'hui le meilleur des meilleurs.
Mozart's final ones were always overflowing with the wistful and solemn inner peace of letting go of the seemingly untouchable tomorrow(considering his brief yet vibrant life span).. overwhelmingly with 2nd movements such as that of this epic piece and the 27th piano, and the Requiem
I played the third movement of this for my grade 8 clarinet (along with other stuff.) I ended up passing with a merit, and I think part of that is because it just sounds so good to me!
@@jinnymudlark1815 During the years my dad collected LPs of his beloved Mozart's music--the Benny Goodman recording was rated by critics as the best and closest to the composer's interpretation of the music. I miss LP records--CD's do not get the subtle nuances of Mozart.
¡Amadeo el grande! Este adagio, tiempo central de esta magna obra es la pieza musical que más miles de veces he oido y pienso seguir escuchando en el resto de mi vida.
My high school wind ensemble played this concerto with an amazingly talented clarinet player. Absolutely beautiful and I can’t believe how easy it was to find!
