Harold Wright and....vibrato..again.

I have never heard Harold Wright play and i was astonished when i heard him play the Schubert Unfinished solo on an internet interview. (It didnt even have CD quality but still it was amazing!) It strucked me because it was so simple yet so beau-ti-ful, i am an oboist so i am quite familiar with that particular excerpt for oboe and clarinet and have gone through countless recordings of that particular section. One thing that left such a big impression on me was how he applied vibrato. It was like 'WHY OF COURSE, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE DONE SO!'. I know it has been widely discussed on this board but what made the culture so 'vibratoless' for orchestral clarinetists? It seems that the American school of playing grants more 'freedom' in some sense. I would like to learn about vibrato in terms of classical music and especially orchestral playing for clarinetists for the past 10, 20 years or so and how it has changed now. Thank you!!!

Howard
