Notes & Reviews:

By any standards, Bernhard Henrik Crusell had a remarkable life. Born in rural Finland, son of a bookbinder he arrived in Stockholm at the age of 16 as an apprentice to a military band, and basically never looked back. Within two years, Crusell had joined the orchestra of the Hofkapelle, where he would later play the premiere performances of his clarinet concertos. By the end of his life, he had travelled throughout Europe, meeting some of the most interesting and outstanding clarinetists and composers of his generation, and had established a reputation as a gifted clarinetist/composer and translator of opera libretti.
