Clarinets and Brahms 4
Nothing but clarinets in hour 1, with single-reed masterpieces by Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Steve Reich. (Don't miss Sabine Meyer's stellar performance of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto, or Richie Hawley's hypnotic performance of "New York Counterpoint" by Steve Reich.) In hour 2, Zubin Mehta conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in the Symphony No. 4, by Brahms. A concert last month at the BBC Proms in London.
