Amazon.comFranz Krommer (originally Kramár) (1759-1831) was a Bohemian classical composer who wrote a good deal of slight but entertaining wind music. Since all of these pieces are in the key of E flat, let's do a rundown to avoid confusion. Op. 35 is played by Tsutsui and Berkes; Op. 91 is played by Takashima and Berkes; Op. 36 is played by Takashima; and Berkes conducts everything. There are several other recordings of these concertos, but since these are played and recorded as well as any, you'd have to be a great fan of one of the other clarinetists to want to spend nearly triple Naxos's price. Not great music, perhaps, but it's fun. --Leslie Gerber
