Dan wrote about the Schubert Octet
"Who is the marvellous clarinet player in what is
obviously a live performance?"
----------------------
The Vienna Octet's clarinettist was Alfred Boskovsky (1913-?),
brother of Willi, pupil of Leopold Wlach
The Vienna Octet was founded by Willi in 1947
They recorded the Schubert Octet in the studio
for Decca in 1955, 1958 and 1969 (maybe more)
The Vienna Octet never recorded without Alfred
When a second clarinet was require - rarely
(e.g. Mozart Divertimento K 113) he was not named.
Willi (1909-91) was replaced by Anton Fietz
but am not sure of the date, but before 1962

Willi and Alfred's recordings together include the following:
1950 Beethoven Septet (78rpm)
1955 Schubert Octet (33.3rpm)
1956 Beethoven Septet
1957 Brahms Quintet, Spohr Octet, Poot Octet,
1957 Mozart Trio (Willi playing the viola!)
Presently undated: Mozart Divertimento K113, Spohr Nonet, Kreutzer Septet
