Sabine Meyer is one of today’s most renowned instrumental soloists, and has made a major contribution to the international fame of the clarinet. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is ‘the finest work ever written for a wind instrument’, she says: ‘beside it, everything else takes a back seat’. Of course, she has already recorded this masterpiece before, notably with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Claudio Abbado twenty-five years ago. But she is now keener than ever to use the specific instrument for which it was written, the basset clarinet, and her encounter with the conductor Giovanni Antonini, whose background is in ‘historically informed performance’, convinced her to offer a new recording, made in 2022 with the Kammerorchester Basel. Together they have found new colours in this concerto, which she considers ‘so profound and so rich in expression and compositional ideas that one rediscovers it each time’.
