can i just say what an inspiration he was and continues to be through his recordings. Upon listening to him play the Brahms' Quintet and Beethoven's Septet with the BSO chamber players i totally found a renewed sense of purpose and desire to pursue music at its highest and most prestigious level. I recommend his recordings to any and all who wish to hear beauty and refinement with such a command of the clarinet. He was a conssumate performer able to bring the technical with the lyrical and create such a synergy of beauty, depth, and a sense of quiet repose and refinement. He is most definitely my top choice for this century's most influential musicians if there were such a list. By today's comparison there aren't many who possess his sense of oneness with the music and manages to bring out the most infintessimal of nuances. I would have to say that after hearing Ricardo Morales, Scott Andrews, Frank Kowalsky, and Ethan Sloane his style of playing has definitely, in one way or another, permeated the delicate pyche's of today's most influential players. Amen to Harold Wright!
