It is indeed a beautiful performance, and on basset clarinet, too.
However, someone either didn't pay attention or else gave Joaqauin bad
advice on which edition to use, because one note is consistently
different from the suggested reading, and it occurs several times in
the violin passage and in the clarinet (in the parallel passage).

The first time is measure is 21 (for violins) and the sixth note played
should be a g natural, not a g sharp.

The parallel passage occurs at m. 109 where the sixth note for clarinet
should be an f natural and not an f sharp.

And it is the Wintherthur manuscript that is the source for these notes
so there is not much doubt about them.

Bad mistake. It's a small one in terms of volume but a big one in terms
of seriousness of intent. What I suspect happened is that they used a
traditional edition of the orchestral parts (the Barenreiter edition
being the only one that has that note in it), and Joaquin use his own
clarinet part.
