“I had already known and admired Idomeneo, Così fan tutte, and Die Zauberflöte, but La clemenza di Tito was new to me: happily it is quite up to the excellent standard of the others, all of them notable for the clarity of the period-instrument sound and for a production wholly appropriate to the tiny Drottningholm space.” Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Mozart: Clarinet Concerto & Symphony No. 25
Recorded live at the Konzerthaus, Vienna, 1–2 September 1987 (Clarinet Concerto) - At the Großer Musikvereinssaal, Vienna,
1–4 October 1988 (Symphony) “What is at once evident is the truth of Bernstein's 'love-affair' with the Vienna Philharmonic. The rapport in these performances is almost tangible and probably was visible. They phrase lovingly for him, they produce a soft and caressing piano string tone [...] and the woodwind are mellifluous indeed. I like these interpretations. They are so musical and so tuned in to Mozart's genius.” Gramophone Magazine “[Schmidl's] mellow but patrician contribution, using a modern clarinet, is smoothly articulate and very warm and musical.” Penguin Guide, 2010 edition **/*** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
