-------------------------------------------





"Christopher Hogwood was the acceptable face of early music, a conductor who never allowed dogmas of authenticity to overwhelm inherent musicality. When he persuaded Decca to let him record practically the whole of Mozart's orchestral opus - symphonies, concertos, interludes, the lot - it was assumed that nothing in the performances would frighten habitual record buffs who knew their Mozart back to front.





The clarinet concerto scared the pants off them. Hogwood and his soloist, Antony Pay, took the view that the work had never been intended for clarinet, a relatively new and high-pitched instrument that was just coming into use in 1789. The first movement was specifically sketched, in G major, for basset horn, and ten weeks before his death Mozart told his wife, Constanze, that he was orchestrating the rondo finale for Anton Stadler's basset clarinet, which had an extended lower range. To play it on a modern clarinet was, in Hogwood's view, anomalous to the point of ridicule.





Pay played it sweet and low. In less assured hands, the basset clarinet sounds growly, but so mellifluous was Pay's tone and so accomplished Hogwood's accompaniment that their performance established not just an ulterior appreciation of a much-loved work but a new tolerance in record shops for period practice as a whole."
