5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful Performances!, May 9, 2001

This review is from: Bernhard Henrik Crusell: Concertos, Op. 1, 3, and 11 (Audio CD)

These expansively beautiful works by the relatively unknown Bernhart Crusell have been superbly realized on this CD. It is impossible to fault the engineering, the pace of the performances or the radiant sound of the orchestra. What makes the CD most special, however, is clarinet playing by Steven D. Hartman that serves as a model of aristocratic bearing and lyricism. Mr. Hartman's directness, emotional authority and effortless technique reveal the heart of these concertos by another clarinet virtuoso, whose musical ideas will enrich everyone who comes to know them. You must hear this recording!
