Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of clarinet concertos with Matthias Müller's captivating album, "Concerto: Debussy - Tchaikovsky - Weber." Released on August 1, 2013, under the NEOS Music label, this 48-minute choral masterpiece showcases Müller's virtuosity and the rich, expressive tones of the clarinet.
The album features a diverse collection of works, including Carl Maria von Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 1 and No. 2, Claude Debussy's Premiere Rapsodie, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Morceau à déchiffrer pour le concours de clarinette de 1910. Each piece is a testament to the composers' unique styles and Müller's exceptional skill.
From the lively and energetic Moderato of Weber's first concerto to the tender and introspective Romanza of his second, Müller navigates the emotional landscape of these works with finesse.

Müller's performance is supported by the orchestral accompaniment, creating a harmonious blend that highlights the clarinet's versatility. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rewarding listening experience.
