Meyer is Among the Elite

"This rendition of Mozart's K622 is possibly the most well known recording made by the greatest female clarinetist in history. Behind Marcellus and Shifrin, this is the top Mozart Concerto you could have in your music collection. Meyer, characterized by her famous dark German tone, plays the Rondo with such a cheery and jumpy tone that it makes this recording of the final movement unsurpassed by anyone before or after."

Amazing

"Sabine Meyer has a silky smooth tone...one you find only amoung the best clarinet players. Her third movement of the Mozart clarinet concerto is the best one i've ever heard. She makes it very light and exciting. It's really a neat recording because the Mozart concerto is on basset horn. Yes, I do agree that Sabine Meyer rushes the second movement along with some other tempos, but in my opinion she pulls it off. Even if you don't like the faster tempos, her tone is enough to distract you. I don't know much about the other selections because I've never personally played them, but they sound beautiful like Sabine Meyer always does. This cd along with other Sabine Meyer works is worth the money!"
