Editorial Reviews

It's fascinating to hear this familiar music played on period instruments, especially when it's played this well. Christophe Cohen, sometimes eccentric as a soloist, seems to be the leader in highly disciplined performances, all of which benefit greatly from the clarity and balances that the instruments encourage. Although Beethoven sanctioned the substitution of a violin for the clarinet in his Op. 11 Trio, clearly the music was conceived for clarinet and it sounds much better that way, even more so on Wolfgang Meyer's unusual instrument. If you want to hear this music on period instruments, currently this disc is the only game in town, fortunately it's a good game. --Leslie Gerber
