Today our Friday Virtuoso is Finnish clarinettest Kari Kriikku, of whose playing a German reviewer recently wrote "When this instrument begins to sound, it takes off, the flying carpet: Kari Kriikku's clarinet tells stories, creates most dazzling exotic sensations and takes the audience to new colourful worlds." This description could certainly be applied to Kari Kriikku's performance of Weber's Clarinet Quintet in B flat major. The piece features many beautiful melodies and the final movement in particular has to be heard to be believed!
