About
Weber’s operas surface reasonably regularly in opera companies’ repertoire around the world as do his Clarinet Concertos and Clarinet Quintet. So it is a joy to welcome to CD for the first time, a recording specifically selected for reissue by Christopher Hogwood. It was recorded with the young Martyn Hill in 1976 and the instrument is an original nineteenth-century fortepiano in the Colt Clavier Collection. The songs have more than a touch of Schubert about them, but are a significant contribution to the Lieder repertoire in their own right. The genesis of this project is in itself a story worth telling and appears as part of Christopher Hogwood’s delightful introductory note.

January 1977
This is a welcome record, and a most attractive one […] Throughout Hills shows himself a most sensitive Weber singer … [Hogwood’s] chiming arpeggios ring out delightfully. […] Altogether, a most rewarding record.
