Hi Folks.
I saw it on CNN international.
For me they were not playing, since fingers of Mr. Ma did not =
correspond,
sometimes, to the notes; yet, there was no microphone at all and if it =
was
there, would have a lot of noise to the listeners... Probably the music =
was
pre-recorded, what is, for the occasion, a smart decision.
For the truth, and on my opinion, the music for clarinet was not so
important than violin and cello.

Best,

Fernando Silveira
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

Assunto: RE: [kl] Inauguration clarinet

Reminds me of when some brass playing friends were hired to play the =
Award
Fanfares at the Squaw Valley Olympics a good number of years ago. They =
were
housed in an apartment on the grounds near the presentation area and =
played
from their balcony. They played the first fanfare just fine and decided =
to
have a drink and wait outside for the second awards. Needless to say =
after
a few drinks and a substantial wait, here came the next fanfare. The
trumpet players lips froze to the mouthpiece. They all waited insided =
from
then on and kept mouthpieces in their hands in their pockets until time =
to
play. I think after that event they started to use recordings.

The pianist had on mittens cut off for the fingers- it must have been=20
pretty cold.

Just my take, but it sort of seemed to me that Mr. Perlman and Mr. Ma=20
were communicating with each other much more than with Mr.=20
McGill. Any comments?
