I've seen Brahms, Mozart and Stravinsky's works discussed here. Perhaps it's
because I'm new to the Klarinet, but I've not seen any opinions of
contemporary works discussed here and I'm very interested to hear such
opinions. For instance, I'm a huge fan of the Moody Blues, a longtime rock
group who uses a full orchestra to great effect in their recordings and
shows.

Another question along the same lines: my brother is an opera singer whose
beautiful voice has also done some rock singing. He says it's extremely
difficult for an opera-trained singer to adapt to rock. I wouldn't have
imagined such a problem, but it made me wonder if classically-minded
clarinettists have the same obstacles to overcome. For instance, would you
be comfortable playing in Daniel Barenboim's orchestra one day, and then do a
session recording for the Moody Blues the next day?
