Title: Johann Wilhelm Wilms: Clarinet Concerto and {2} Sinfonie Concertante
Post by: terry martyn on Saturday 02 March 2024, 16:28
I received yesterday from Presto Music this CD on the Accent label. I particularly liked the second  Sinfonia Concertante, in F major, on the cusp of Romanticism,for flute,oboe,bassoon,horn and orchestra. The CD has been around for about a year and is played with great affection by Harmonie Universelle, a name previously unknown to me.  I don't know the precise date of the Clarinet Concerto ( yet another discovery by Klocker), but the other two works were apparently composed in 1814 or shortly thereafter.

The CD arrived in tandem with the Ysaye E minor violin concerto, which I will now try to get to grips with.

Thanks! Very fond of Wilms' symphonies and at least some of his chamber works and piano concerti but haven't heard these.
