WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Die letzten Konzerte: für Klavier (Nr.27) / für Klarinette A. Staier, L. Coppola, Freiburger Barockorchester, Gottfried von der Goltz

The Last Concertos (Vienna, 1791)
This recording is the last of the triptych of CDs that the Freiburger Barockorchester has devoted to Mozart’s concertos. We are in 1791: his final instrumental work (the Clarinet Concerto) comes just a few months after the last piano concerto. In both cases, the performers have gone back to the original manuscripts to unearth the detailed traces of the composer’s own performing practice. If his markings are followed precisely, it is possible to rediscover a fascinating variety of sonic perspectives.

Andreas Staier plays a fortepiano by Christoph Kern after Anton Walter; Lorenzo Coppola plays a clarinette d’amour by A. Guéroult after Lotz/Stadler.
