Regarding the inquiry as to which Boston Symphony clarinetists
were playing on Brahms and Bartok:
Harold Wright is indeed on the recordings of Brahms 2, 3 and 4.
Brahms 1 was recorded in April 1994, with the then-Acting Principal
Tom Martin and second clarinet Bill Hudgins.
The Bartok Miraculous Mandarin section included 1)Tom Martin,
2) Bill Hudgins, Eb) Julie Vaverka - a local extra player for the season,
and Craig Nordstrom on bass. The Bartok Concerto for Orchestra
recorded at the same time has a section of Martin, Hudgins, Nordstrom.

Of course, the section is currently configured:
William R. (Bill) Hudgins - Principal
Scott Andrews - second
Thomas Martin - Associate Principal and Eb
and Principal of Boston Pops Orchestra
Craig Nordstrom - bass clar.

Hope this helps...Many of us have asked/urged recording companies to
include personnel rosters in the album package. We have just had
success with the recent Boston Pops CD "American Visions", as well
as on new Evening at Pops TV shows which have rolling credits including
the orchestra roster - BEFORE the TV camera crews! Small but significant
victories in getting the musicians some recognition!
