Dieter KlockerAbout
At a time when Beethoven’s septets became regarded as ideal examples of how to write chamber music for strings and wind combined, it was in this very field that Peter von Winter displayed all his gifts for melody and instrumentation to advantage.
In the Quartet, Septet and Octet on this new recording, we find different styles from the outgoing 18th century, both contrasted and fused together. We hear motifs that are prescient of Schubert and his Octet, alongside contemporary polonaise forms and other latently ‘national’ elements. Winter here pays homage to the same European spirit as do Beethoven and Haydn in their ‘British’ cycles of songs. The pre-Romantic atmosphere provided by the horns is interrupted by virtuosic elements that no member of the Consortium Classicum can let pass by and master clarinettist, Dieter Klöcker, is a match even for the music’s ‘operatic’ moments in technically difficult registers.
