5.0 out of 5 stars What an outstanding record!, April 4, 2001

This review is from: Johann & Carl Stamitz: Clarinet Concertos (Audio CD)

This record proves that Sabine Meyer must be considered to be among the world's top clarinetists. Her performance on this new release of Clarinet Concertos by Johann and Carl Stamitz is simply amazing. Not only is her technique flawless, her sensible interpretation makes you feel the joy and sentimentality with which this music was composed and thought to be performed: Just listen to the second movement of Concerto No. 3 by Carl Stamitz and you will see what I mean. There can be no doubt that this CD is an absolute highlight in my collection and one of the real great recordings of this year!

This is a must have album for any clarinetist or any music lover. What Sabine Meyer does with Stamitz is nothing short of amazing. She puts to shame anyone who attempts to play the Third Concerto. The others are equally as astounding. I highly recommend this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply AMAZING!!!, November 7, 2004

This review is from: Johann & Carl Stamitz: Clarinet Concertos (Audio CD)

If Carl and Johann Stamitz were alive, they wouldn't believe how flawless and beautiful Sabine Meyer has played their songs in this CD. Concerto No.3 is just simply charming, with her own alterations and add-ins to make the original song, giving it an amusing and snazzy feel.

I have been playing clarinet for 4 years now, and currently I am working on all three of the movements in Concerto No.3. My clarinet teacher gave this CD a while back and I absolutely love it. There is nothing wrong with the song, but because Meyer adds many little tidbits of her own, it doesn't correspond in many places to the original score, making following along the music challenging. My clarinet teacher did say that she did overdo the added stuff to the music, and i always regarded it as her sticking her tounge out at the composers =P If you compare the original score with her score, you will definately enjoy hers much more.

As I continue to work on C no3, I may even decide myself to add some of what she has changed into my own score.

The Stamitzes would be proud of her recording, and if you buy this cd i garentee you will enjoy it and hopefully give it a wonderful review as I and the other two reviewers have done !
