Subj: [kl] Tony Pay Mozart Quintet Recording
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 22:08:12 -0500

Tony,

I was listening to the radio on Sunday, and heard a recording
that I couldn't place the player while I was listening. The
clarinettist was NOT using a basset clarinet, and I just
couldn't place the sound characteristics and style with a
performer (something I have been getting better at, but still
lacking at getting it right 100% of the time.)

Didn't you make some recordings with Neville Marriner a while
back that covered the whole Mozart compendium?

They announced at the end that it was you, but gave no more
information about the recording, or who played strings, etc. It
was a very nice recording, but a different feel from what I am
used to when hearing on your recordings (apples and oranges, not
good and bad.)

I was curious to know...how many different recordings of the
Mozart Cl. Quintet have you performed on, and which one would
this one have been, if the regular clarinet part narrows it down
any? Have you made more recordings on traditional clarinet of
Mozart? I was unfamiliar of any non-period instrument recordings
you had done previously to hearing this on the radio (ignorant
me) so I was interested in this one from the standpoint of how
it is different to make a period recordings as opposed to
non-period recordings (instrumental wise.)

Thanks in advance...
