Much of Arnold's music is in the lighter vein, and the differences in interpretation really mean the peice has alot of meat to it. Example: in the Mozart Quitet there is far less one can do in terms of tempi and phrasing than in this music without becoming a little weird. That being said Jack Brymer represents the older English school and I see nothing wrong with his over the top interpretation, that being said I know that Collins is also fantastic and may approach things from say a different perspective. Vibrato however is a tool and clarinetists in some repetoire like Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue should really loo9sen it up to give the audience the thrill it seeks. Shock is good for us sometimes when it comes to interpretation... compare the Beethoven Symphonies of Furtwangler versus the Karajan style of conducting...in some moments the tempo changing in Furtwangler is disarming and yet arrests one's attention. It is here we realize that music is truly amazing and in spite of collective thinking that society imposes, we all are individuals and justification is based as much on stlye as it is on technique and artistry.
