Swedish composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell has long been considered an insider among clarinetists, but his concerts have now found their way onto the stage. No wonder, given the captivating music with which Crusell - himself an international clarinet virtuoso - enriched the repertoire of early Romanticism. Crusell's works need not fear comparison with Weber and Spohr's clarinet literature. Our Urtext edition of the Concerto in F Minor marks the beginning of a new edition of all three Crusell clarinet concertos, which are in the best possible hands with the publisher and clarinetist Nicolai Pfeffer, who combines editorial experience with a practical understanding of performance.
