NotesDieter Klocker dedicated his life to music with great devotion: his importance as a clarinetist is demonstrated by the fact that his name became synonymous with his instrument. A champion of lesser known literature, Klocker was famous for promoting and performing the works of the "little masters" he considered underestimated. This 4 disc set features musical gems by these little masters - like Hoffmeister, von Schacht, Vogel, and Backofen - and bears witness to the importance of Klocker as an artist, musician, and researcher.
