Ken, don't forget about the incredible playing of Alexandre Tharaud. For me, Alexandre is what makes the recording, although Ronald is wonderful

Ken- that's really funny, I discovered this CD 1 day before you did. I was also blown away by the playing of Van Spaendonck. So many of my personal ideals of tone, legato, intonation and taste are present in his playing. I also find the pianist to be a really wonderful musician. However, I do find myself wishing that Van Spaendonck used a tiny bit of vibrato every now and then...

Good to hear this news Ken! I've seen it a few times, almost bought it, and was utterly put off by the ugly cover! A lesson for me here ....judging a book by its cover ... boy I'm superficial sometimes!
... all which begs the question: what is the best CD cover you've seen on a clarinet collection? Back in the days of record collecting this was a pretty big deal. Seems less so now - after all the picture/art has to be so much smaller. I remember some great records with Benny Goodman's big smile, whilst cradling his clarinet.
