Mozart | Clarinet concerto in A major K 622 

Having watched the concert so many times we are always entertained, impressed and proud. We have just read all the comments and feel that we have been remiss in not adding ours. You are special. Love Mum and Dad Pickup

Замечательно-минимальный состав оркестра и кларнетист феноменальный!

I am impressed the new Bassett clarinets need to be redesigned. The tone of this clarinet especially the low notes is so impressive. Saving it to my playlist. Performance is also wonderful.

Love the authentic period instruments - wonderful performance 🎶

Mozart's wunderbares aber auch sehr herausforderndes Klarinettenkonzert in A-Dur. Herausragend interpretiert von diesem absolut virtuosen Solisten und dem Ensemble. Vorgetragen auf der Basset - Klarinette in Original - Tonlage. Ich glaube, Mozart wäre hiervon sehr begeistert gewesen ! Wirklich einzigartig!

Maravilhosa interpretação.Lembro meu falecido pai que foi clarinetista da sinfônica do teatro municipal do Rio de janeiro em 1957 e eu o assistia.

Thank you! This has everything - a real basset clarinet, a first rate solist, and an excellent ensemble. Beautifully played.

Classical music possesses an unparalleled ability to transport the listener to different realms, creating a sanctuary of refined beauty and emotional depth.

Beautiful in every way..otherworldly.

Wunderbar! Das Adagio ist die schönste Melodie aller Zeiten! Musik von einem andern Stern! Danke fürs Hochladen❤ Gruss aus der Schweiz....Ruth

Hier kommt die Bassett - Klarinette v o l l & g a n z zu seiner Geltung ❗ Angenehm auch das mit Holz - Quer - Flöten und Natur - Wald - Hörnern gespielt wird ❗ Vielen DANK für den besonderen KLANG ❗❣❗

Comfort and gracefulness of their performance are off the charts

Absolut einmaliges Ensemble mit einem großartigen Solisten. Als Klarinettist habe ich das Konzert wohl tausende Mal gehört und selbst gespielt. Mein Lehrer wäre begeistert! Freigemacht von bisherigen Hörgewohnheiten und die originale Notation ernst genommen! Brilliant!

Sahen Klarinetten zu Mozarts Zeiten so aus? Jedenfalls ist die Darbietung dieses herrlichen Konzerts den Maestros ( ich meine Mozart und Stadler) durchaus ebenbürtig! Hervorragend!

Grande lui grande Mozart Mi piace tantissimo ❤

Thank you for this marvelous performance, and with a very demanding instrument. Even with a modern A-clarinet it is a work to struggle to master, not to mention this basset clarinet with fewer clefs etc. And with that range, you get all the parts in right height, to contrast with the orchestra part. Also the orchestra without conductor - a real chamber music joy and conversation! Mozarts best concerto (not only by the clarinet players, but also others) gets a performance worth it, no doubt. Vielen Danke! Bravo! (at the end - what a beautiful and well earned gesture of the virtuoso clarinet player to thank the principal violin player and the orchestra first, before bowing to the audience - a gentleman indeed!)

Isn't Mozart's music wonderful? Aren't these musicians wonderfull too? Lovely performace, thank you all. Love it!

I'm not quite sure who made the statement about Mozart's last Concerto, but it is appropriate here: There are only very few things in life that are perfect. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is one of them. Den Stadler heroben freuts auch wie Robert spielt.

It's an original instrumentation and a moderately sized ensemble. The performance is clear and appealing without being strangely exaggerated!

Wonderful lightness and phrasing! The return of the main melody in the slow movement was so beautiful. Thank you for posting this performance.

Amazing! A balm for the soul

Wonderful, we can all listen to this over and over again I wonder how many times Mozart heard it.

No doubt it is one of the most refined interpretations of Mozart Concerto I ever heard. Bravissimo dear Robert!

What an amazing performance. A balm for the soul in these turbulent times.

Bravo! One of the very nicest Mozart Concerto performances I have heard in a long time!!

Magnifique,excellent l’ ensemble et le soliste ,merci pour ce bon et beau moment musical

Il est tellement bon qu'il s'est permis des variations dans le très beau 2ème mouvement. Bravo. Excellent 🏆.

Ich bin extremst begeistert, danke für diese herrliche Aufnahme!!!

Bin begeistert Sie entdeckt zu haben,Ihr Spiel? Wunderschön,vielen Dank.

I heard it again and it was even more wonderful. The basset clarinet sound is so beautiful and even throughout the registers, the orchestral playing excellent with specially good finely phrasing in cellos and bass, and natural horns.

Fantastic sound, strikingly beautiful low notes especially. Best rendition of this concerto I ever heard, and I've heard plenty of them!

Великолепное исполнение : всё очень стройно, гармонично и художественно! Благодарю ! 🙏

Bravo!! Robert!! Beautiful sound! You are such a star!🤗🙌🏼👏

That clarinet is so unique. Look like Native American's smoking pipe.

Bravissimo Robert und bravissimia La Scintilla!!! Was für ein absoluter Genuss und große Freude, Euch so exzellent zu hören! Ihr seid und wart es immer... fantastisch! ❤

ありがとうございます！日本から感謝を込めて！

That second movement is so incredible❤️❤️❤️ Bravo to the orchestra and Bravo Robert as always! I could hear you singing every note!

unglaublich

Das ist wunderschön! Vielen Dank!

This is now my new favorite recording of this concerto; bravi tutti! I was blessed to be able to perform the third movement with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra back in 2007 (I really wish there were a recording, but alas, none exists); I thought I did a pretty damn good job of it (certainly as good as I was capable of at the time), but THIS is the interpretation and the sound I would have wanted - and I think what Mozart himself would have intended. Extraordinarily well done!

I like this basset clarinet so much better than the regular one

00:00 Allegro 12:58 Andante 20:14 Rondo. Allegro

Shame it never got more mainstream use and that so few people play this on the correct instruments. Such a spirited and thoughtful performance of such a pensive work.

Grossartig gespielt mit einem tollen Instrument und -alisten

Robert, you are the most versatile Clarinetplayer I know. Just amazing !

Bravo Robert, absolutely beautiful with wonderful stylish ornaments. I love the low Bs too. Wonderful stuff!

It must be very difficult to play this concerto on a instrument without resources like the one in this video. Congratulations on the interpretation

A fantastic masterpiece, grandiose, operatically lively, dramatic and funny, profound, in a speaking dialogue with the orchestra - which also acts exzellent - infinitely fascinatingly played! Great, my heartfelt congratulations, I wish you many more concerts and a CD recording right away, Heini

Special thanks from an Australia Chinese, love it! 🌹🌹

This is by far the most interesting version of this concerto I have heard in many years. Thank you for putting it out there!

Vielen Dank! Südtirol überzeugt einmal mehr! 👍🎶

Davvero una performance magistrale!!

Ein Genuss, großes Dankeschön.

Ein musikalischer Genuss! Danke!

Замечательно! Очень люблю этот концерт! И никогда не видела такой кларнет! Это что за вид?

marvelous rendition of the work.

This is an incredible performance... What an achievement!,,,

I can't give this enough likes! Amazing! thank you!

Sublime and superb. As G.B. Shaw said about another musician "Such perfection angers the Gods, I recommend you play a few wrong notes every day to appease them!" And the same applies to your performance Robert... and I liked the way you kept dropping your left arm away whenever you did'nt need it - very wise. So expressive. Many thanks (this must be the 10th time I have played it).

Stunning! Bravo!👏👏👏👏💕💕💕

Beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹

One of the most wonderful scores of the music history. Marvellous, on period instruments and period clarinet

Bravo. Great tone, brilliant phrasing and amazing expression.

Magnifici!. Complimenti a tutta l'orchestra e super solista

Mozart and Anton Stadler. A Match made from heaven.

Solo il nome del divino Mozart è una garanzia di bellezza ai livelli massimi. L'orchestra , nel pieno, ha una sonorità risplendente ( la parola solarità mi è suggerita da Eugenio Montale). Già l'Allegro è di di una bellezza sublime e pensierosa allo stesso tempo. Se si aggiunge la sonorità del Clarinetto di Bassetto , siamo al massimo dell'arte. Il Clarinetto di Bassetto , rispetto al moderno clarinetto, ha suoni gravi più profondi, suoni medi più armonici e rotondi e suoni acuti morbidi e dolci. Il dialogo fra il clarinetto e l'orchestra è veramente un dialogo, come passaggio e risposta da uno all'altro, non monologhi ora dell'orchestra ,ora del solista .L'Adagio entra nell'anima con serena malinconia : sognante evoca l'altrove , che ciascuna ricerca. L'equilibrio mozartiano non esagera mai con le variazioni, che spesso vengono affidate al solista, con l'orchestra che si limita ad accompagnare , rendendo il tutto un monologo. Il Rondo e l'Allegro richiamano il tema iniziale e riportano l'allegria dei tre diesis del La Maggiore. Concerto eccellente, ottima l'Orchestra "La Scintilla"; un plauso particolare per sonorità, interpretazione a Robert Pickup , solista davvero straordinario, anche nella parte più variata del Rondo. Grazie per la bellezza del Concerto.

Beglückende Darbietung aus Meran auf einem selten gespielten Instrument: Herzlichen Dank für diesen musikalischen Leckerbissen!

Excellent performer,well done Zhe orchestra,Thank you

Exquisite! Congratulations to Robert and the La Scintilla Orchestra!

Фантастика!Супер профессионал.❤🌹

Espectacular!, mi amado Mozart...

So glad to have found this inspired and superb rendition of my favorite piece of music. I’m going to save this so that I can play it over and over. The basset clarinet is music to my ears. 😊

very nicely done - love te basset clarinet sound

Bravissimi tutti voi!

apsolutna ljepota!

Bravo, sehr gut gespielt!!

Bravo all the way around!

wonderful! wonderful!!!!

Knap gedaan Robert ! Soos 'n strelende salfie. Die Bassetklarinet klink soet oor al die registers en ek hou veral van die sinnvolle passasies in die kadense en vermatas. Jy laat Mozart sowaar leef in die hede. Bravo! Groete Etienne

Wow. This is just sublime. I'm curious about the variations on the written melody especially in the recapitulation in the second movement. Are they original variations added by Robert? I assume theres a great amount of research that goes into historical ornaments as well. They are stunning and really add so much personality and joy. As someone who has only played it the "normal" way (whatever that means) I was so surprised and overjoyed by every liberty taken. Love the use of the leg to cover the lowest hole too!

Fantastic!!!

Un capolavoro assoluto eseguito divinamente.

Bravissimo! You touched my heart!

I really enjoyed this performance. Thx

A truly wonderful performance.

Som maravilhoso desse Bassettklarinette.

So beautiful.

From Australia.....bravo!

美しい、優しい音ですね！

The ensemble sound balance is perfect. I really thanks to youtube channel!

Bravo 👏 Magnifique 👍

Absolutely beautiful!

Heb dit meesterwerk nu in verscheidene uitvoeringen mogen beluisteren. Ben elke keer weer onder onder indruk van de "eigen" sound en interpretatie van de solisten. Schitterend

Most welcome and expertly done!

Wunderbar !!!

Fantástica interpretación, nunca la había escuchado de esa manera, y creo que se trataría de un Clarine histórico. Gracias por compartirlo.

This is perfect music and yours is a perfect performance. Invaluable video.

Beautiful ❤
