 Re: Marcellus Plays Debussy, 3 Performances

We might be missing a point here. There are many reasons a recording is IMPORTANT. One of them in this context is that the person who recorded it was a lover of French music and spent some time studying the original score and teaching it to vast numbers of students. Hearing many if not all of those points in the context of a recording is a miracle to some of us.

The other point is whether the recording is 'euphonic' or not. For some reason (and I'm still trying to figure out exactly why) the ONLY band recordings that sound ANY good are the old (and I mean old) Mercury recordings of the Eastman Wind Ensemble. Equally consistent is that most solo clarinet recordings of (presumably the best clarinet players) sound suspect at best save for a few notable exceptions.

The final point is (not necessarily germane to this particular 'discussion' but one worth bringing up) that some recordings (regardless of their note or performance purity) are such incredible examples of music making that you couldn't even imagine their NOT being there. I just heard one the other day on the Arts Channel, a version of Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano concerto played by Alexis Weissenberg with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. The second movement was beyond beautiful. I wanted to rave about it on this Board but couldn't justify posting about a video without a ready link.

At any rate for those who seriously studied the Rhapsodie or studied with Marcellus (for whom he is more than just a name) or both, these recordings are very important indeed.
