This recording celebrates Weber’s incomparable talent for transforming the clarinet into an operatic diva, letting it speak, sing, cry and shine. Roeland Hendrikx, together with arranger Andreas Tarkmann, here additionally solves a number of other mysteries surrounding the “first German Romantic.” What was the division of labor between Weber and his preferred clarinetist Heinrich Baermann? How much Baermann do we have to scrape off to meet the real Weber? And above all, how much Tarkmann do we have to inject to find the full Weber?
