Shifrin is spectacular!Mar 14, 2000
By Brandon Hood
This CD is one of the better recordings of the Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintets that I have heard. Shifrin is one of the most amazing clarinetists of our time today. He combines clarity of sound with true artistic ability. His interpretation of the Brahms is second to none. To have this great of a performer combined with the Emerson String Quartet is the making of an excellent recording that I highly recommend. You will treasure this recording for years to come!

Outstanding ensemble performance.Jan 18, 2008
By Raymond L. Clithero
"Ray the clarinetist"
Shifrin and the Emerson Quartet demonstrated an outstanding artistic interpretation of both the Mozart and Brahms quintets. The ensemble performance is unified and expressive. The technical quality of the recording also is excellent. After hearing the CD, I purchased a copy for each member of my own quintet. Highest compliments are due to these players.

Simply SpectacularFeb 28, 2002
Emerson and Shifrin make these two already perfect pieces even more spectacular than they already are. Emerson's sound is so rich and lush which lends a spectacular quality to quintets. They really get the ideal Mozartian and Bramsian qualities across in their playing. The music is subtle in it's qualities and the quintet emphasizes this. David Shifrin is flawless in his playing. He gets a rich dark sound and interprets the music perfectly. He and Emerson are a great match....they understood these two pieces and brought them out in their performance. It is just excellent all around!

ExcellentFeb 11, 2006
By R. Albin
This is an outstanding recording of these superb works. The Mozart Clarinet Quintet is simply a masterpiece. The Emerson and the clarinetist, David Shifrin, are wonderful. The Brahms quintet is performed just as well.

Two of the Most Beautiful Compositions Ever!Jul 27, 2009
By Karl W. Nehring
The old clarinetist in me naturally gravitates toward recordings such as this, and the chance to hear clarinetist extraordinaire David Shifrin (my collection already included his Delos recording of the Brahms with Chamber Music Northwest, an all-star aggregation, in a program that also includes Brahms's String Quintet No. 2) with the eminent Emerson String Quartet led me to slap down my $15 without a moment's hesitation (actually, I did hesitate when I first saw this CD, which was at a store where I would have had to slap down $17, so I stopped at another store on my way home that very evening, not wanting to wind blowing the $2 savings on gasoline). My enthusiasm was well worth it, as this CD contains two fine performances of two fine pieces in simply sterling stereo sound. For my money, these are two of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, and I never tire of hearing them. I only wish I had the skill to play the clarinet part...
