Clement: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2

"While Clement's writing lacks the audacity of Beethoven's, he points the way in terms of structure, style and orchestration, with silvery melodic lines that spring from within the orchestral texture, rather than merely gliding over an accompaniment...Contzen produces a ravishing sound, complemented by the suave playing of the WDR Symphony Orchestra" Observer

"Reinhard Goebel will apparently be the constant in the Beethoven's World series, and he is an interesting choice. I associate him with the Baroque era, and some wonderfully energetic Telemann and Heinichen. Here with a full symphony orchestra at the dawn of the Romantic era, his direction is assured and stylish with the perfect balance of forward momentum and stillness." MusicWeb
