Sabine Meyer, Vienna String Quartet - Mozart: Clarinet Quintet, Horn Quintet (comp. 1789, rec. 1988)
Despite her long, successful career, Sabine Meyer doesn't seem to have attracted as much attention as she deserves. Much of her recorded music has fallenout of print and brings top dollar. Her website tells us:
Born in Crailsheim, she studied with Otto Hermann in Stuttgart and Hans Deinzer in Hanover, then embarked on a career as an orchestral musician and became member of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. This was followed by an engagement as solo clarinettist at the Berlin Philharmonic which she abandoned, as she was more and more in demand as a soloist. For almost a quarter of a century, numerous concerts and broadcast engagements led her to all musical centres of Europe as well as to Brazil, Israel, Canada, Africa and Australia, and, for twenty years, equally regularly to Japan and the USA.
Sabine Meyer has been a much-celebrated soloist with more than three hundred orchestras internationally. She has given guest performances with all the top-level orchestras in Germany and has been engaged by the world’s leading orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, the Orchestra of Suisse Romande, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Radio Orchestras of Vienna, Basel, Warsaw, Prague and Budapest as well as numerous additional ensembles.
Her fresh performances of these two Mozart pieces bring out every nuance, showing why the composer had such an affinity for the clarinet. Every note is a sheer joy from start to finish.
on the Sam-O-Meter. Highest recommendation.

given by EvilGnome6. His ratings are inscrutable, and he gives Beatles' album 
on a good day. On rare occasions, he get some things correct.
