About this Album:
Johann Melchoir Molter wrote six clarinet concertos. The first four of these dating from around 1745 makes them the earliest known solo concertos for this instrument. In fact at this stage the writing for the clarinet resembles the contemporary trumpet concertos, only using the upper register for melodies.
The composer clearly tried to break away from the concerto grosso form which resulted in charming concertos with the clarinet in the centre. however, one has to do without the in the Romantic period much used lower register.
These very recent recordings of all six of Molter’s concertos provide a much needed addition to available incomplete sets. Brilliant performances by clarinettist Henk de Graaf and the Amadeus Ensemble.

Extraordinary,Molter is underrated,his concerts of clarinet and trumpet are among the best of the baroque ✌️✌️✌️🙏🏼🙏🏼😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Absolutely agree. He was the first one to write concertos for a primitive clarinet n D. The writing recals his trumpet concertos.
Merveilleux Jean-Melchior Molter🙏
BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOUR SELECTIONS.

Molter optou pelo uso de clarinetes menos, com sonoridade equivalentes aos registros agudo e superagudo de um clarinete em si bemol atual.
I hate to be contrarian, but it sounds quite "forced" in the upper range, which somewhat spoils the magic for me. I think the writing is a large part of the issue, as a lot of this music is written in the very high range of the clarinet and stays in the stratosphere for much of at least concertos 5 and 1 (I'm still listening). I don't know what instrument Mr, de Graaf plays; if it's a period instrument, that may be part of the explanation as well. My ear is more tuned to the sound of a modern instrument, I suppose (my father was a clarinettist so I grew up with this sound). Beautiful and enjoyable music nonetheless.
They are written for Eb Clarinet?
@@finnsclarinet I thought of that possibility after I wrote my comment a couple of weeks ago. In a brief search (thank you, Mr. Google), I found sources indicating that all of Molter's concertos "were all written for the clarinet in D, which is rarely found today." Perhaps Mr. de Graaf is playing them on a Bb instrument? Either way, I still think that it shouldn't sound like it's so hard. My opinion.
@@LouFerl I agree with you, the tone needs to be lovely, and isn't. I was just reading a blog post claiming that beautiful tone has faded from the landscape since the early 20th c. and I thought "that can't be true". This did not help my argument.
@@AndSendMe Oh, I wouldn't say that! There is still a lot of good sounding clarinet playing around. Don't give up on such a wonderful instrument! :)
If I had to guess, he's probably playing on an Eb clarinet, while the strings are tuned down a half step, which essentially turns the Eb into a D in baroque pitch (the actual baroque D clarinet would be pitched C# in our system, so it's a compromise).
And yes, it is very high, it is played on a sopranino clarinet. What I think would improve the timbre personally is if he played a keyless instrument.
