Golly, but you people aren't any fun any more! I though for sure we'd get
some cool discussion over this.

Let me stir the pot again. Are there "definitive" recordings of a piece --
so nifty that they are close to the ideal (for the philosophically inclined,
the Platonic form)?

I suppose that the first argument (in the academic, not personal sense)
would be whether such a thing is possible. I'll aver that it is.

Because it appears that no one will get too involved in the discussion
unless there are direct clarinetistic examples, I will proffer 2 recordings
that I'd opine to be "definitive": Benny's Copland and Stanley's
Corigliano. So there.

I've got my Nomex suit on, so flame away!
