Konzert Für Fagott Und Orchester B-Dur / Konzert Für Klarinette Und Orchester A-Dur KV 622

Released in 1969 on the Schwann Musica Mundi label, this recording serves as a significant entry in the documentation of Classical and pre-Romantic woodwind concertos. The album couples Mozart's late masterpiece, the Clarinet Concerto in A major, with the Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major by François Devienne, a French composer often referred to as the French Mozart for his proficiency in both composition and wind instrument performance.

The recording features the Kölner Kammerorchester conducted by Helmut Müller-Brühl, a conductor noted for his dedication to the chamber music repertoire of the eighteenth century. Soloists Hans-Rudolf Stalder and Manfred Sax were chosen for their expertise in period-appropriate phrasing. The production was intended to showcase the lyrical capacity of these wind instruments, highlighting the technical evolution from Devienne's pedagogical clarity to the profound emotional depth of Mozart's final instrumental concerto.
