Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and Clarinet Quintet are splendidly played by the Australian clarinetist Paul Dean (hybrid SACD 301122). The quintet is played by the excellent Grainger Quartet, the concerto by the Queensland Orchestra led by Guillaume Tourniaire; both pieces are wonderfully recorded. In the quintet, Dean is able to adapt a softer tone quality, superbly fitted to chamber music. Wonderful music.
