Clarinet Section for the Met Ring cycle in 1990?

For the first time in years I've been checking out the Wagner Ring cycle recorded by James Levine and the Met back in 1990, and it dawned on me that I'm not sure who was playing in that section. Does anyone know exactly who the clarinet personel was from those performances?

Thanks.

Well, I know that Jim Ognibene has been bass clarinetist since 1985. Other possibilities include Roger Hiller, Joe Rabbai, Sean Osborn. Ricardo Morales didn't arrive until 1993.

For sure Sean Osborn and Jim Ognibene....Sean Osborn was with the Met for at least four or five years starting in 1989 :-)

Why don't you ask Sean? He's got a web site of his own....
