Ever since Wagner, Meyerbeer, and Verdi, the bass clarinet has had a firm place in the romantic (opera) orchestra. The instrument‘s solo career began in 1955 with the Czech clarinetist Josef Horák. Even so, strong pieces exist from the time before 1955, which are presented on this CD: Schoeck‘s Sonata, op. 41, Hindemith‘s Sonata for Bassoon, and Adolf Busch‘s Suite.
