Interview
Wenzel Fuchs in conversation with Daishin Kashimoto
Alan Gilbert and Wenzel Fuchs with Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto
Mozart was a great fan of the then still new clarinet. He composed a splendid concerto, his last work in that genre, for this instrument, whose tone closely resembles the sound of the human voice. The performers in this concert are Alan Gilbert and the Berliner Philharmoniker’s principal clarinet Wenzel Fuchs. The programme also includes Thomas Ades’s highly original Three Studies from Couperin and Debussy’s shimmering Images pour orchestra.
