Pfeffer’s overall performance is fresh and imaginative, with an effortless singing quality, colorful tone, excellent intonation, and focused control throughout. His performance of Mozart’s Concerto is especially captivating, with an overtly expressive individuality. The lovely, extended Eingänge written by Andreas
Tarkmann, combined with the note changes, ornaments, and octave displacements based on current musicological research, all unite to make this a Mozart clarinet concerto recording truly worth owning.
Pfeffer’s performance of the concerto is just beautiful.
