London Phil 1933

I have just been listening to a CD I have of Weingartner conducting the London Philharmonic in a recording dated 13/14 November 1933 of Beethoven's 4th. The clarinet playing is particularly appealing. Does anyone know whether that is likely to be Kell at that date, or someone else? If Wikipedia is to be believed then that seems likely, and Kell was 27 years old around then. It sounds more focussed and less "swoopy" than I associate with Kell, but he probably developed that style later (i.e. by mid to late 1930s).

Any observations gratefully received.

By the way, it is a Naxos disc

Reg Kell was pricipal of the LPO from 1932 to 1936 whem Bernard Walton took over.
I understand his "revised" style of playing started some time later in the 1930's.
