One of the most beautiful clarinet performances I ever heard (in terms
of sound and also musicality) was by David Campbell performing on an R13
greenline, in Graham Fitkin's concerto/rhapsody "Agnostic", for clarinet
and strings.

In fact David mentioned the greenline in his introduction to the piece,
because much of the idea behind the title, "Agnostic", is that the music
is about no longer being able to be certain about anything.... e.g.
what a clarinet is made of.... ;-)

Buffet's website lists a number of greenline players, all of whom are
not just orchestral players but frequently soloists.
