James,
I DO understand that your comment was in good fun, so don't misunderstand that.
However, the point that I hoped readers would get from my quip was that, although the player's mastery of all this high altissimo stuff, circular breathing, and other "special techniques" inspires respect, awe, envy, hero worship maybe, and so forth, at least for me it has no staying power musically.
I'm not saying that Bekavac's isn't a fine player, but it would be nice, for once, for people to go ga-ga over a player doing particularly good job with some "straight" piece, played with particular finesse and musicality.
Fireworks wear thin pretty quickly for me.
(My posts on this topic, btw, were spurred by a student of mine who came for a lesson last night. She stubbornly refuses, week after week, to really work on her clarinet sound, yet she's hot to learn circular breathing so she can amaze her friends, now that she's heard Robert Spring do it.)
Oh well.
B.
