SL-206102
Title: Nuccio: Opening Night
Clarinet Quintets of Mozart & Brahms, Live
Artist: Mark Nuccio
Genre: Chamber

This exceptional live recording of clarinetist Mark Nuccio, of the New York Philharmonic, supported by a stellar string quartet, presents a lively interpretation of Mozart and Brahms’ clarinet quintets. These pieces stand at the peak of clarinet repertoire. Nuccio treats each masterpiece as such – with delicacy, lushness and superb attention to line shaping and dynamics.
