Hello. I have a recording of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe (the complete ballet) by the London Symphony. It was recorded back in 1992 at the Abbey Road Studios, London. I am trying to find out who was principal clarinet back in 1992? Was it Andrew Marriner?

Yes, Andrew Marriner
The Florida International Music Festival will host the London Symphony in Daytona Beach for concerts, small ensemble, and solo performances during July. If in the area, take in a performance. Andrew will not be in Finland this summer unable to attend the festival.

Aussie Nick ... this is probably one of the BEST Daphnis recordings available. This orchestra is simply incredible.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

I know, it is just incredible... and I have never heard a clarinet sound like it. The reason I'm trying to find out if it is infact him is because I am trying to narrow down a list of teachers I am interested in doing further study with overseas, and I have known a few aussies to go to Andrew. Does anybody know if he teaches at any universities/music colleges?
Also - another teacher I have been in contact with is in Vienna. I am interested in going there but have been wanting to speak to some people about life as a french system player in Austria/Germany. I know David Thomas from Melbourne Symphony studied in Vienna so I plan to ask him this very question but it would be great if anyone else had some insight regarding work etc as a Boehm (Bohem?) player.

German system clarinets are not a problem, Mark Pinner (who's not been seen on posting here for ages??) uses them and I've had a play myself. Slight differences and a much better bore, in my opinion than thier French cousins. They are, however, EXPENSIVE.

Hi Nick,
Andrew Marriner is visiting professor at the Royal Academy in London. We see him once a term for a day of masterclasses, it is also occasionally possible to organise 1 to 1 lessons with him, but he's obviously extremely busy. We have what seems like an ever expanding number of Aussies in the clarinet faculty, 3 at present.
Incidentally, we also have another former LSO (co?) principal, Nick Rodwell, as a full time member of the teaching staff.
