Not strictly clarinet related ... I had an opportunity of hearing who I thought was a wonderful violinist recently (Salvatore Accardo sp?) playing Tchiakowsky's fiddle concerto ... it was dreadful, wrong notes, out of tune octaves, missed notes and slipped entries ... I can only assume he'd not looked at the piece for a while and then suddenly remembered his concerts in Sydney and Melbourne. Fun, all the recordings I've heard of him have been wonderful, just goes to show what a studio artist can achieve, eh? I think a lot of foreign artists are surprised at the high standard of our orchestras here ... we all know how good American ones are because our American cousins remind us of the fact constantly (and good they are too).
Have you ever experience an "idol" live and been dissapointed?
