Portal and Les Musiciens: Wonderfully done...
Syrinx | Austria | 09/17/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mozart's Clarinet Quintet is maybe his most famous chamber work, most probably the most recorded and performed one. It is great to see that the musicians performing here have done a wonderful job. Portal is a great artist who has the gift of making every musical phrase sound natural and complete. Les Musiciens in the Quintet are great, playing relaxed. Nothing in this recording is 'obsessed with energy and brilliance'. This kind of playing shows that nothing has to sound 'romantic' to be expressive.

'Kegelstatt' Trio is also wonderful. Jean-Claude Pennetier is a great accompanist here. In both pieces the members sound as one. Both pieces are so maturely played that one doesn't feel any 'force' to make the music flow. Once again Portal fascinated me with this expressive and natural playing; he is definitely one of the greatest clarinetists of our time. Wonderfully done."
