>I have several questions.

>1. Does anyone have any recommendations of Bonade recordings? Please give
details i.e. conductor and year if possible.
{1896-1979}
There are no chamber music recordings by Bonade unfortunately.
I would ask Jerry Pierce/Jim Sauers about his orchestral 78s if
they were living - sorry not much help
Might be a good idea, if all else fails, to scan Jerry's
regular contributions to 'The Clarinet' Vol 8/2 to 21/4

>2. Same with McLane?
{1907-1951}
It looks as if you are searching for orchestral recordings,
but Grendilla reissued McLane's Brahms Trio, Musicraft 15 on a
single-sided LP GS 1002
He also recorded Ravel's Introduction and allegro, Columbia X167
Richard Gilbert (1972) listed McLane/Philadelphia Orchestra
recordings of
Brahms 4th Symphony,
Tchaikovsky 4th Symphony,
Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony,
Rimsky Korsakov Scheherazade

>3. During which year was McGinnis principal of the PO?
{1911-1976}
After leaving the Curtis, Robert McGinnis' first big job was
with the PO, became its principal within a year and remained with the
orchestra for 10 years 1929?-39? under Stokowski.
He moved to the Cleveland under Rodzinski for a year
and (WWII) went into the Navy (1941?) for 3 1/2 years. He
rejoined the Cleveland under Szell. After that - NBC (Toscanini) 1yr,
then NYPO (Stanley Drucker joined NYPO as asst and E flat 1948) McGinnis
retired from the NYPO in 1960. Gigliotti was associate solo clarinet
of the PO 1949-50 and became principal in 1950

>4. Who was the principal of Boston during the Munch years?
Gino Cioffi was solo clarinet of the Boston from 1950, having
moved to the USA in 1937. He played under Reiner, Rodzinski,
Walter, Toscanini and others. Harold Wright (1926/7?-1993)
joined the Boston in 1970 as principal on Cioffi's retirement
