Spohr composed extensively for the clarinet, a result of his friendship and creative partnership with Johann Hermstedt, court musician and one of the most acclaimed clarinetists of the period. On this recording we hear the clarinet solo, accompanied by the piano, in two sets of 'Theme and Variations' and a 'Potpourri' on popular opera melodies, tuneful, brilliant and virtuoso music. The main work are the '6 deutsche Lieder' for soprano, clarinet and piano, the same combination as Schubert's 'Der Hirt auf dem Felsen', also sharing the pastoral and lyrical atmosphere of this song.
