Carolyn,
If I remember correctly, Pamela Weston has published a third
volume in her "Clarinet Virtuosi" series listing notable players of our
time. I'm sure it lists Leister. Can anyone out there confirm this? (I
don't have a copy of it handy). I also recommend that you check the
Clarinet magazine back issues for articles. Also, do an archives check of
this BBS. How good is your German? If you feel up to it, contact the
Berlin Symphony and see if they'll send you some information. I'll bet
they've got a nice-sized packet on each principal player. I guess you
could also do a search of the back issues of some of the German music
magazines and see what turns up, but that would be terribly
time-consuming. Lastly, have you thought about contacting Leister himself?
