Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Clarinet Quintet in A major, K581

Playful Weber and sublime Mozart performed with warmth and joy by Michael Collins and the London Mozart Players from the lofty St Pancras clock tower.

In Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, the dialogue between instruments, underlined by changes in moods and textures, had an operatic quality.

The Italian brought two beautiful period instrument clarinets to Wigmore Hall for the perfect pairing of clarinet quintets by Mozart and Brahms. 

An exploration of expression within controlled structure from Van Wauwe and the Quatuor Van Kuijk, in passionate Webern, tense Durupt and spirited Mozart.

What a debt clarinettists owe to Anton Stadler and Richard Mühlfeld! Muses for Mozart and Brahms respectively, they were inspirations for some of the most glorious works written for the instrument.

As part of the City of London Festival 2013, the Nash Ensemble delivered a varied mixture of works loosely connected by the ubiquitous Britten theme. This hotchpotch-style approach has worked very well indeed for the Nash for nearly 50 years, and tonight’s concert was no exception.
