Mozart: Quintette pour clarinette et cordes & Trio pour clarinette, alto et piano "Des quilles"

September 27th 2021 will mark ten years since Henri Druart passed away. As one of the leading clarinetists in post-war France, he was appointed as soloist in the main orchestras and concert bands. In particular, he was serving in the newly created Orchestre de Paris when he recorded this album with members of the strings section and Aldo Ciccolini, performing Mozart’s clarinet quintet and trio. Among the loveliest chamber works ever composed by Mozart, they are inextricably linked to the name of Anton Stadler, the first “clarinet hero”, dedicatee of one, and creator of both.
