Re: Clarinettist in Leningrad Philharmonic pre-1961

Isaac Roginsky recorded the Manevich Concerto with the Leningrad Philharmonic in 1960. See http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=28955&t=28955. I'm not sure whether he played in the orchestra, but it seems likely.

He eventually moved to New York City. Everyone came to see the man who produced such a gigantic sound and was amazed to find that he was barely 5' tall. I've been told, but have no source, that he apparently couldn't find work and died in poverty.
