The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Mozart & Brahms - The Great Clarinet Quintets

It is not often that two of music’s greatest masterworks can be heard side by side, but it is indisputable that this program offers clarinet chamber music at its absolute pinnacle. Composed a century apart and similarly inspired by virtuoso clarinetists, the Clarinet Quintets of Mozart and Brahms are among the most popular works on the chamber music stage, yet, rarely do they appear on the same program. It will be obvious to listeners that both Mozart and Brahms were seduced by the clarinet’s pristine purity, and both created works that breathe the same tranquil, autumnal air.
