The re-presentation of A Portrait of Heinrich Baermann (CC0003) and A Portrait of Simon Hermstedt (CC0006) in this newly priced Limited Edition Box Set. Both CDs incorporate both major repertoire and rare gems from the 18th and 19th centuries - an exciting period of development for the clarinet. The Baermann and Weber Quintets sit beside the Spohr Six German Songs and Mozart's Aria from La Clemenza di Tito. In re-presenting both CDs, with a special focus on the repertoire, this Limited Edition, special price box set offers listeners the chance to reacquaint themselves with both masterpieces from the repertoire and lesser known gems including Baermann's Air Varié and Paer's 'Unavoce al cor mi parla'. These are just some of the highlights on this double album. With more than 150 minutes of music, this wonderful collection features masterpieces which will be cherished by any lover of classical music. Press Quote ' What a splendid performance it receives (Weber Quintet). Victoria Soames has a beautifully rounded tone, a sensitive feeling for style, and a seemingly effortless technique.' Musical Times ' Victoria Soames is the star of the disc ..... she performs with style and grace and is able to accompany the soprano where necessary, before stepping in to the lime light herself when needed.'
