I think Stoltzman is a very good Clarinetist. I can't say the same for
De Peyer. Looking back at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
Selecting him as their former Clarinetist I think "what the hell were
they thinking"?
He's just a step above "Jerome Bunke" who played on those gawd awful
Music Minus One recordings back then.

Speaking as a European, I have to say that over the years I have found
De Peyer's Mozart ultimately the most satisfactory. He doesn't, of
course, use a basset clarinet (unless he has re-recorded it recently)
but ultimately (and I know I will have Dan hurling Pizza at me for
saying this) I don't think that is the end of the world.

I am not - of course - putting this forward as any sort of truth but
merely to show that we don't all have the same views.....

As if we didn't know that already!

Matthew
