THE CHAMPION OF THE LICORICE STICK on Performance Today

Carl Maria von Weber was one of the greatest champions of the clarinet. He seemed to have an innate feel for what would sound good on the instrument that's sometimes called the licorice stick. Soaring melodies, intricate runs, hefty technical passages. Clarinetist Jorg Widmann turns confectioner in a performance of Weber's First Clarinet Concerto, from a concert in Stuttgart, Germany. Here's Performance Today's program lineup.

Join us tonight at 8 p.m. on WVIK 90.3 FM, or listen online at WVIK.org.
