This exceptional live recording of clarinetist Mark Nuccio, of the New York Philharmonic, supported by a stellar string quartet, presents a lively interpretation of Mozart and Brahms' clarinet quintets. These pieces stand at the peak of clarinet repertoire. Nuccio treats each masterpiece as such - with delicacy, lushness and superb attention to line shaping and dynamics.
- Catherine Runge
