I quote from Pamela Weston's
Clarinet Virtuosi of the Past,
last paragraph of page 264:

'The opulence and yet mellowness of [Charles]
Draper's tone endeared him to Elgar
who enscribed his name in his scores,
wherever important clarinet passages occurred.'

>CBC 2 had the 1926 recording of Elgar conducting his own Enigma Variations
(available via EMI) on this weekend. Striking recording. Somehow the
clarinet recorded very well, especially the solo on the next to last (I
believe) variation. Who was that person playing? Tone to die for.

>I hear the Violin Concerto on the Elgar recordings with a 16 year old
Yehudi Menuhin is another outstanding one of the series. Luckily I have this
25% off coupon for any CDs that's good at my local Harmony House Classical
store ...
