- Music for Clarinet, Bassoon, and Flute

Mozart:
- Clarinet Concerto in A major, K622
Alessandro Carbonare (clarinet)
- Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major, K314
Jacques Zoon (flute)
- Bassoon Concerto in B flat major, K191
Guilhaume Santana (bassoon)
Performed by the Orchestra Mozart, conducted by Claudio Abbado
In this recording, Claudio Abbado and his superb orchestra present their Mozart celebration with several solo concerto performances.
The third of a three – album series of Mozart wind compositions puts Claudio Abbado’s stamp on this music of grace, charm, and beauty.
Guilhaume Santana’s bassoon – mournfully and boisterous by turn – exploits every interpretive possibility in Mozart’s earliest surviving wind concerto, the Bassoon Concerto , K. 191.
The Flute Concerto No. 2, K. 314 proves to be an easy conquest of perfection by flautist Jacques Zoon;
And clarinettist Alessandro Carbonare spins tonal majesty out of thin air in the reflective Concerto in A, K. 622.
