Holy cow, no! Uh, sorry for the hyperbole, but Sabine Meyer is NOT the
principal clarinetist in the Berlin Phil! There are only 3 female
members in that orchestra, and she is definitely not one of them. In
fact, the orchestra ejected her from the orchestra many years ago after
Karajan unilaterally placed her in the clarinet section without consulting
the players.
