Just to clear up a few factual matters,
On Domestica, the low passage you refer to (under the oboe solo) is in the 1st A clarinet part, which was played by Tom Peterson, not Robert Marcellus (although it sounds very close. . .amazing how great playing gets into the ears of those who hear it every day).
David Glazer was not Marcellus's predecessor. He did not ever play principal clarinet in the Cleveland Orchestra. Marcellus's direct predecessor was Bernard Portrnoy and before that, Robert McGinnis.
In terms of QUANTITY of technique, there have been players who approach or even exceed Marcellus.
In terms of QUALITY and REPEATABLITY (in other words, playing perfectly and beautifully ALL of the slow or not obviously difficult things one is supposed to nail every time) there have been precious few who have ever come close over a 20 year timespan.
