 Re: Some Marcellus recordings you don't have

Thank you for the recordings! Really nice to hear these things.

Just out of interest, am I the only person here who is less than impressed?
I keep hearing stories of Marcellus the legend, throwing my expectation of him way up in the air, and to be honest these recordings don't match my expectations. . .

I hear quite a lot of intonation problems. Also, the sound is to me not ideal. I hear some tension in the sound that I wasn't expecting (aware that a lot of this can be lack-luster recording technique)
I am also surprised to find some of the phrasing rather unpolished. I have built up an expectation of Marcellus, if anything, having very polished, controlled phrasing, but I find some of his phrases to be quite unpleasant, with some gross swelling and unprepared direction.

Maybe it's just me, I'm not saying that he doesn't sound like a good clarinetist. He definitely does, but I was expecting to hear the messiah of clarinet (as everyone here seems to put him on a pedestal) and I did not hear that. Just a good clarinetist with a good tone, good technique (some trouble around the break) and decent phrasing.

Sorry if I'm bursting any bubbles, I just don't get the hype right now.
