Mozart & Contemporaries

As well as being one of the key members of the Orchestra of the 18th Century practically from its outset, clarinettist Erich Hoeprich became one of the first artists to join the Glossa label in the 1990s; with his ensembles Nachtmusique and the Stadler Trio he has provided a handful of valuable recordings predominantly concentrating on music from the Classical era. One of these discs, now being reissued, sees Hoeprich and his Catalonian colleagues from the Stadler Trio (Albert Gumí and the sadly departed Carles Riera) perform a selection of pieces by Mozart and other composers from the time, such as Salieri and Martín y Soler, playing on original instruments by Theodor Lotz.
