I loved seeing talented musicians turning a challenging time during quarantine to redirect their performing in new ways. Thomas Carroll is a masterful clarinetist who specializes in historical instruments. He is also an instrument maker.
This Beautiful Music features Thomas Carroll playing all the parts of his own arrangement for three clarinets and two basset horns of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony no. 1 in C Op. 21 He gave this October 24, 2020 performance on instruments he crafted. You can also read more about the multi-talented music on the link below to his website.
