There is also a clip of her playing the 2nd movement, but not the 1st.

At the site Dan provided on youtube there are also quite a number of
very interesting solo performances with the Vienna Women's Philharmonic
(including an excellent performance of Bruch's Kol Nidre). The orchestra
must employ many of the fine young women performers in Vienna who have
been denied jobs with the Vienna Philharmonic. I was not previously
familiar with this orchestra, but I am quite impressed.

A young woman named Carelys Carreras from Cuba plays the last
movement of the Mozart concert with an orchestra called, "The
Vienna Women's Philharmonic."

Respectable playing on a clarinet of traditional compass.>>>

This is heresy on so many levels!

(1) A *woman* (!) playing Mozart well?

(2) . . . in Vienna??

(3) . . . on a Boehm-system clarinet???

It is simply not possible. (Like the flight of bumblebees.)
