Brahms: Clarinet Quintet Wagner (Baermann): Adagio for Clarinet and String Quintet - Alfred Boskovsky and Members of the Vienna Octet

Alfred Boskovsky and members of the Vienna Octet perform Johannes Brahms' - Clarinet Quintet in B Minor, Op. 115 and Heinrich Joseph Baermann's - Clarinet Quintet, Op. 23. Recording date and venue: April 1961 at Sofiensaal, Vienna Date of release: December 1996.

This autumn release nicely coincides with a composition by Johannes Brahms which he wrote during the autumn of his life: the masterly Clarinet Quintet op.115 displays all the characteristics of Brahms' mature chamber style at its zenith. Highly expressive themes, extensive modulation, rich development, and a finely balanced interweaving of the parts are the chief characteristics of this enchanting late work.

The music combines gentle reveling with mellow cheerfulness - one might say that Brahms is once again declaring his love for Hungarian folk music, as he did so often in numerous earlier works. It is known today that the Adagio for Clarinet and String Quartet was not composed by Wagner but by the clarinet virtuoso Heinrich Joseph Baermann. The very fact that this seldom performed little work was attributed to the Bavarian music dramatist gives an inkling of its compositional standard. A gentle clarinet melody, supported by the four string instruments, imbues the piece with soft iridescence. This DECCA recording, made with members of the Vienna Octet in 1961, is still valid today as a true work of reference.
