5.0 out of 5 stars Mozart as it should be!, September 4, 2001

If you haven't heard of Sharon Kam before you should make sure to do so very soon. On this recording of Mozart's unfortunately overplayed masterpiece you can hear the most natural clarinet playing. On the other hand the interpretation is well structured and every phrase gets it right. The Würtembergische Kammerorchester under Jörg Färber are equal partners on this wonderful CD. Mozart is coupled with a contemporary composer called Krommer. Of course the composition is not on the same level, but Mrs. Kam's playing makes it a very enjoyable virtuoso concerto.

What a clarinettist!
If you haven't heard of Sharon Kam before you should make sure you do so very soon. This is absolutely wonderful clarinet playing; it seems like every phrase has been thought about and still it sounds completely natural. To make an overplayed piece like Mozart's clarinet concerto sound so natural it needs a true interpreter like Kam. Also Krommer is very enjoyable. Although of course not on the same level as Mozart's composition Mrs. Kam's playing makes it worth listening!
