<< Last night on an ARTS broadcast I saw a 1952 tape of Toscanini conducting
the NBC symphony orchestra playing a portion of the Pines of Rome. It
began with an extended clarinet solo. I was wondering if anyone knows who
the clarinettist might have been. He had a dang good sound! The camera
did not get a shot of him though. It did catch the oboist. Does anyone
know the oboists name? He seemed to be in his 60's. >>

Clarinetist is most likely Alexander Williams. He certainly has an
interesting interpretation of pianissimo, doesn't he? Most of us would call
it mezzo forte.

The oboist is most likely a man named Renzi. I forget his first name at the
moment. His son is the principal flutist in San Francisco, Paul Renzi.
