cyso_clarinettist, did you actually read my post or haven't you progressed that far through school to be able to read yet?
I wasn't commenting on the players ability, and if you read my post carefully you will see that I actually praised Mr Stoltzman's playing and didn't cop out and do the normal Stoltzman bash that is becoming so common on this board. (As a side comment I feel that Stoltzman's recording of the Copland is absolutley amazing!) I didn't feel the need to do so for Mr Combs, as to my knowledge his work is universally regarded as being amazing and I have never read a post on this BB that has been disrespectful to him. I have the so much respect for the work that Mr Combs has done, words cannot describe in what high regard I hold him.
The point to my post, and I can't speak for Diz here, but was to outline the fact that many great artists win awards while others, who are equally as good don't. The players who I mentioned have all also released wonderful recordings (not of this work to my knowledge however) and have not been recipients of awards for their work. My point was don't rely on awards as a sole source to tell you what is a good recording as most likely the recording artist didn't release the CD just to win awards! (but again I say that Mr Combs (especially) and Mr Stoltzman's recordings are most likely wonderful recordings and well deserving winners of the awards.)
Next time you decide to have a go cyso_clarinettist, read the information properly before you write. Don't just hop on your high horse and start sprouting the kind of offensive comments that you did in your previous post in relation to this topic on this board!

(As for being 1/1,000000000000 as good as Mr Combs, maybe at this stage, maybe not at this stage, but I'm sure somewhere in the future I will be able to claim to be one trillionth as good as Mr Combs (as to be able to pick up a clarinet is nearly to be one trillionth as good), but the real question is will you ever be....)
