Klarinetten-Konzert A-Dur, KV 622 • Sinfonia Concertante Es-Dur, KV 297B

Released in 1982 by Telefunken, this recording pairs Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K. 622, with the Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat Major, K. 297b. The production features the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg under the direction of Leopold Hager, with Dieter Klöcker serving as the soloist for the Clarinet Concerto. This release emerged during a period when Telefunken was highly regarded for its commitment to high-fidelity classical recordings, often highlighting regional European orchestras and specialized wind soloists to capture a precise, nuanced interpretation of Mozart's late-period mastery.

The recording highlights the work of Dieter Klöcker, a noted clarinetist who was instrumental in recovering and promoting obscure classical woodwind repertoire. By pairing the iconic K. 622—one of Mozart’s final completed works—with the historically debated authorship of K. 297b, the release provided listeners with a sophisticated look at the development of the woodwind concerto. Leopold Hager’s work with the Mozarteum Orchestra was widely praised for its adherence to period-conscious phrasing and the clarity of its orchestral textures, solidifying this album's place in the broader catalog of 20th-century Mozart interpretations.
