Beautiful and underrated concerto. The clarinet sounds glorious.

[@alexphipps4912]

I'm in love with everything about this piece and recording

My favourite clarinettist playing one of my favourite composers. Had the pleasure of being at Karl Leister's master classes in London many years ago. A great post - thank you.

la squadra dei campioni ha una panchina di lusso: Gossec - Dittersdorf - Weber - Hummel - Spohr - Reicha - Kuhlau - Berwald - Field. Quando scendono in campo fanno sempre una gran figura! ;)

My number 1 favorite is Copland but this is beautiful too! Like your playing!

Quel dommage que Spohr ne soit pas plus connu et interprete. Tous les solistes se concentrent sur le K622 et les op. 73, 74 et 26 de Weber. Meme commentaire pour Stamitz

One of the unsung heroes of classical music

I had recently discovered that the clarinettist Thomas Lindsay Willman (1784-1840) was a great-great-great-great grand uncle of mine, and played Spohr's first Clarinet Concerto, here, in February 1833. The maternal great grandfather (Johann Bernhard Logier) of my great grandmother married Elizabeth Willman, sister of Thomas Lindsay Willman.

Such an underrated composer. Sounds like a cross between Mozart and Beethoven.

I hardly know one end of a clarinet from the other but, for me, there is something about clarinet concertos - Spohr, Mozart, Debussy, Copland, Finzi, etc, etc. Beautiful performance. Thank you.

love the adagio, nice and slow so i might be able to play it

[@aleksiyla-anttila6299]

Great performance of a great concerto.

[@volkan350]

Best clarinet concerto ever composed. It compromises both Romantic and Classical period's style , that's why Spohr can be classified as transition composer from classical to Romantic. I can't understand why this concerto being underestimated.
