Trio Für Klarinette, Fagott Und Klavier / Trio Für 2 Klarinetten Und Viola / «Das Mühlrad» Für Sopran, Klarinette Und Klavier

Released in 1984 by the Swiss label Jecklin-Disco, this recording highlights the chamber works of the early 19th-century composer Konradin Kreutzer. Kreutzer, a contemporary of Beethoven and Schubert, was best known for his operas and vocal music, though his smaller-scale instrumental compositions reflect the refined, lyrical style typical of the Biedermeier period. This record serves as a specialized archival release, intended to bring his lesser-known instrumental trio repertoire into the modern listening room.

The performances feature clarinetist Hans-Rudolf Stalder and colleagues, captured during a period when the Jecklin-Disco label was actively documenting Swiss-associated musical history and rare classical repertoire. The ensemble focused on a nuanced, historically informed approach to these pieces, emphasizing the intricate balance required for the clarinet-bassoon-piano and clarinet-viola combinations. The record was received by the classical community as a scholarly, polished contribution to the discography of Romantic-era chamber music.
