Trio Roseau - Mozart: Divertimenti KV 439b; La Clemenza Di Tito KV 621

The ensemble of trio d'anches featuring the oboe, clarinet, and bassoon was first established in the 1920s and features on this brand new recording on SACD with the glorious music of Mozart arranged by Ulf-Guido Sch�fer.His trio has now been recorded on the big sound of this Super Audio CD � a revelation for specialists in the field of windchamber music.Mozart's later works increasingly included important parts for wind instruments, evident here in La clemenza di Tito, Mozart's last opera,.The combination of oboe, clarinet, and bassoon also repeatedly occurs in the original scores. Might this be the reason whySch�fer's arrangements sound so authentic?Two duets and two arias, framed by the overture and the famous rondo Non pi� di fiori, yield an ensemble composition full of operatic drama and ravishing beauty.Mozart's predilection for the clarinet is legendary, and he was also so very fond of the basset horn, its big sister with a low voice, that he composed a good two dozen trio pieces for three of these horns. From them Sch�fer has derived three enchanting divertimenti that in their instrumentation for trio d'anches create a quirky serenade atmosphere.
