Trio Di Clarone is a classical music ensemble consisting of three clarinetists: Sabine Meyer, Wolfgang Meyer, and Reiner Wehle. The trio was formed in 1983 and has since become one of the most renowned and respected clarinet ensembles in the world. Sabine Meyer was born in Crailsheim, Germany in 1959. She began playing the clarinet at the age of six and went on to study at the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart. In 1982, she won the ARD International Music Competition in Munich, which launched her career as a soloist. She has since performed with many of the world's leading orchestras and conductors, and has recorded extensively for major record labels. Wolfgang Meyer was born in Radolfzell, Germany in 1954. He began playing the clarinet at the age of ten and went on to study at the Musikhochschule in Freiburg. He has performed as a soloist with many orchestras and has recorded extensively, both as a soloist and as a member of various ensembles. Reiner Wehle was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1956. He began playing the clarinet at the age of eight and went on to study at the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart. He has performed as a soloist with many orchestras and has recorded extensively, both as a soloist and as a member of various ensembles. The three clarinetists first met in 1982, when they were all studying at the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart. They quickly became friends and began playing together informally. In 1983, they decided to form a formal ensemble and named themselves Trio Di Clarone, after the Italian word for clarinet. The trio's repertoire includes a wide range of music, from classical to contemporary. They have commissioned many new works for clarinet trio and have also arranged works originally written for other instruments. Their performances are known for their technical precision, musicality, and sense of humor. One of the trio's early highlights was their performance at the 1984 International Clarinet Congress in Tokyo, Japan. Their performance was so well-received that they were invited back to Japan the following year for a tour. They have since performed all over the world, including in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. In 1990, the trio released their first album, "The Art of the Clarinet Trio," which received critical acclaim and helped to establish them as one of the leading clarinet ensembles in the world. They have since released many more albums, including "Brahms: The Clarinet Trio and Quintet," "Mozart: The Clarinet Concerto and Quintet," and "Bartók: Contrasts." The trio has also received many awards and honors throughout their career. In 1991, they were awarded the Echo Klassik award for their album "The Art of the Clarinet Trio." They have also been awarded the German Record Critics' Award, the Cannes Classical Award, and the Diapason d'Or. In addition to their work as a trio, each member of Trio Di Clarone has also had a successful solo career. Sabine Meyer has been awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Legion of Honor for her contributions to music. Wolfgang Meyer has been awarded the German Record Critics' Award and the Echo Klassik award for his solo recordings. Reiner Wehle has been awarded the German Record Critics' Award and the Echo Klassik award for his recordings with the Ensemble Villa Musica. Trio Di Clarone continues to perform and record together, and their contributions to the world of classical music have been significant.
