September 27th, 2021 mark ten years since Henri Druart passed away. As one of the leading clarinettists in post-war France, he was appointed as soloist in the main orchestras and concert bands. In particular, he was serving in the newly created Orchestre de Paris when he recorded this album with members of the strings section and Aldo Ciccolini, performing Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Clarinet Trio. Among the loveliest chamber works ever composed by Mozart, they are inextricably linked to the name of Anton Stadler, the first “clarinet hero”, dedicatee of one, and creator of both. © Warner Classics
