I was at the concert, wondering about the identity of the clarinetist I had=
never seen before. His name did not appear in the program, but, as the Tim=
es reported, he did get a solo bow. Incidentally, I thought that he played =
splendidly.

Subject: [kl] Who was that clarinetist?

On Jan. 12, there was a piece in the NY Times about a mystery clarinetist w=
ith the NY Phil. The link is http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/=
mystery-at-the-philharmonic-who-was-that-clarinetist/,
but if you have trouble getting the piece, it seems that Burt Hara, clarine=
tist with the Minnesota orchestra was invited to play the set, perhaps to h=
ear in a more relaxed environment than in an audition.

He played the Rachmaninoff 2nd symphony (which, by the way, has a tough bas=
s clarinet part in A in the bass clef, and I played that on my A bass once)=
, and was given a solo bow for his apparently splendid work in the big seco=
nd movement solo.

When the critic for the NY Times called and asked the identity of the playe=
r, the request was refused.

Mysteries maybe??
