The charm of this concerto-symphony, in which a variety of warm-sounding timbres skillfully pass the musical baton back and forth, is truly remarkable.\nThe Clarinet Concerto is also a tasteful masterpiece reminiscent of Mozart’s.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595659501857,"sku":"4015023243910","price":4390.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4015023243910.jpg?v=1790482160","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4015023243910","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
