BaL 3.12.11 Brahms Clarinet Quintet (merged threads)

[richardfinegold]

I was talking to a friend of mine about rather sublime, or even melancholic music, withy a friend of min, recently an ofcourse Brahms's clarinet Quintet came up. I then had a look at my own cds and found shock, horror(!!), I havn't a recording of it! So9 I( thought, ah,you guys be able to help me out, p0erhaps? (I don't mind if it's c/w Mozart, btw!! :)

The Naxos recording isa great bargain. Martin Frost on BIS at the other end of the price spectrum, or Richard Stoltzman if you don't mind some wide ranging vibrato.

[verismissimo]

The Alan Hacker (sadly now late and lamented) and Lesley Schatzberger versions are my two favourites.

I have the Schatzberger with the excellent (and HIPP) Fitzwilliam Quartet from 2006. Like it a lot.

The Naxos recording is a great bargain.

It certainly is; surprised this is its first mention, here!


Keith Puddy has been praised in Brahms's quintet (rightly so) but he is excellent in this as well - originally a CfP vinyl from the 1970s. Worth the pennies!

I am just listening to the Wlach/Vienna Konzerthaus recording from the Westminster Chamber Music box. A wonderful, autumnal, performance to go with those of other such vintage clarinettists as Kell.

If you don’t mind a download, I see you don’t have to have invested in the big box. Naxos has it coupled with another classic performance of the Horn Trio, for less than a fiver:

This arrived today and cost me 1p plus postage. It seems to be very expensive now. If anyone else bought it and plans to rip it to hard drive, my copy has pre-emphasis.

Mine too - quite a few months ago. I don't know why it has gone stratospheric so suddenly...

We must surely consider ourselves lucky.

PS Just out of interest - what is 'pre-emphasis?'

Have a look at the Pre-emphasis on CD thread on the Techie Board

Thanks. All is clear - although I am not in the habit of ripping stuff to the hard-drive. Just curious, that's all.....

It has been a great joy reacquainting myself with the Keith Puddy/Delme recording on Pickwick this week coupled with an outstanding American Quartet - still I thik my favourite recording of that piece by some way , even ahead of the Pavel Haas and Hollywood Quartet versions.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

it is a treasure Barbirolians, a treasure

There seem to be two versions of the Mozart disc, one of which is available used for anpenny.

The Brahms Keith Puddy disc is still available at a good price too.

I think for the Brahms (original posting!) it has to be Gervase de Peyer, everytime.

I like The Nash ensemble's playing here but having just heard Gervase de Peyer's recording, I am certainly quite smitten!
