Review by Danny Medina

The album "Three Quartets For Clarinet And Strings" by Bernhard Crusell, Eric Hoeprich & Members Of The London Haydn Quartet is a mesmerizing collection of classical music that showcases the brilliance of the clarinet and strings. The album features three quartets, each composed by Bernhard Crusell, a Finnish-Swedish clarinetist, and composer of the late classical and early romantic periods.

The album starts with the Quartet No. 1 in E-flat Major, Op. 2, a cheerful and lively piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The clarinet takes center stage, weaving intricate melodies around the strings, creating a beautiful and harmonious sound.

The Quartet No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 4, is a more somber and introspective piece that showcases the depth and range of the clarinet. The London Haydn Quartet provides a solid foundation for Eric Hoeprich's virtuoso performance on the clarinet, creating a haunting and melancholic mood.

The album concludes with the Quartet No. 3 in D Major, Op. 7, a joyful and exuberant piece that brings the album to a satisfying close. The clarinet and strings dance around each other, creating a lively and playful sound that is sure to leave listeners feeling uplifted.
