Belenus Quartet; Rita Karin Meier - Heinrich Baermann: Clarinet Quintets Op. 19, 22 & 23

Heinrich Baermann is quite well known today as Carl Maria von Weber�s source of inspiration. The famous virtuoso, for whom Weber personally created his clarinet concertos, repeatedly took up the pen on his own � and did so with great success. Several dozen works by Baermann have been transmitted to MDG and on this recording Rita Karin Meier and the Belenus Quartet turn to his three quintets for clarinet and strings and with them bring back to life his much acclaimed cantabile playing as well as his legendary virtuosic capabilities.
