Re: Rhapsody in Blue -- No not the gliss!

Author: Jack Kissinger  Date:   2008-02-27 03:55 Thank you all. Looks like we (which will probably translate to "I") have some recruiting to do. The version of the Rhapsody we are playing is the full orchestration by Grofe. The opening solo is actually printed as a solo in both the 1st clarinet and 1st alto sax parts. Maybe they're supposed to fight over it. John, it was indeed the Slatkin version with Jeffrey Siegel as the soloist -- my favorite recording of the piece. Since Slatkin didn't become music director of the SLSO until shortly after we moved to St. Louis (we came in 1977), I had assumed the recording was made after you left but I see from the "cover" that it was actually recorded in 1974. When I listened, I wondered who the clarinetist was. Certainly George Silfies was capable of doing it but it was the kind of part that Bob Coleman, who had more of a jazz background, often performed with the orchestra. Now I know it was you. Great job, as usual. Best regards, jnk
