* PERFORMED ON PERIOD INSTRUMENTS * Vlad Weverbergh is the founder and artistic director of the Terra Nova Collective who has also specialised in historic clarinets and the modern bass clarinet. He is particularly focused on the rediscovery of forgotten composers and the performance of their works and his recordings include the most important compositions for clarinet, notably Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto KV 622 on a historic basset clarinet. He has also recorded an entire series of trend-setting world premiere recordings that have received praise from both the music press and the public. Vlad Weverbergh has collaborated with international artists of the stature of Frank Braley, Mate Scuzcs, Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, Vaclav Luks, the Danel Quartet and the Enescu Quartet. He is a regular guest as both soloist and chamber musician with several ensembles in Belgium and abroad; he has also several years’ experience as a recording producer and performer of klezmer music. He also conducted the world premiere of Missa Maria Assumptae (J.A.Faber) in 2016; the Mass was composed in Antwerp during the Baroque period and contains the earliest known solo for clarinet. This recording received great praise from the international music press, including the prestigious French magazine Diapason. Highly recommended.
