The Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the most famous and influential son of the great Johann Sebastian, was one of the first composers to give a prominent role to the clarinet as solo and chamber music instrument. By 1760 the production of clarinets with 4 or 5 keys provided a great variety of timbre and tonal flexibility. These qualities prompted the composer to write a number of original works and to rewrite existing works including the clarinet as an equal partner within the ensemble, taking the role of leading melodic instrument (hitherto given to the flute or the violin).
This is the first recording of these works featuring the clarinet!
Luigi Magistrelli is one of the leading and most enterprising Italian clarinettists, delving up unknown music for his instrument. He successfully recorded for Brilliant Classics clarinet works by Archduke Rudolph (BC94952) and chamber music by Rebay (BC94171).
