[Mozart] “His command is absolute, the mood calmingly resigned … The underlying melancholy (missed here by many) is fully brought out … [others] Weber’s concertino, excellently exploits the clarinet's qualities ... Baermann's Adagio has a certain melodic grace of an operatic kind ; and Debussy's Rhapsodie (competition work) has a lot of characteristic things, and never suggests that it was a piece he really had to write … Brymer's playing will be familiar from many recordings: He has a smooth technique, a lovely liquid tone - rich and warm in the clarion register, oily and vibrant in the chalumeau.... He phrases Kramář with grace in the outer movements and expression in the Adagio; a skilful, thoroughly musical performance”. (Gramophone)
