Title: Beautiful and profound
Review: The other positive reviews provide detailed expositions of why this recording of KV622 is so special. Just listen to the unfolding wind and brass choir which opens the 2nd movement. Ms. King's clear articulation and subtle dynamics are spell-binding throughout.I am baffled by the 1-star reviewer whose juvenile screed evidently apes that of "some (as yet unidentified) clarinet teachers". Are we listening to the same recording? Can that reviewer educate us by citing particular examples where Ms. King's "sound and articulation are simply dreadful"? Or is it, as I suspect, that Ms. King is "simply dreadful" and "VERY UGLY" from start to finish?Thea King, who died in 2007, was one of the greatest clarinetists of the 20th century, as this wonderful performance clearly demonstrates.
