 Re: Ricardo Morales plays Debussy and Rossini

Too bad Tony Pay is not on board to weigh in on this one. Personally, I always love to hear Morales play because he so obviously enjoys what he is doing, has spectacular clarinet skills, and plenty of musical grace and style. The Rossini is absolutely delightful. I think he is probably playing here on a closer facing--as D. Blumberg said, gone down from about 1.15 mm to somewhere between 0.98 mm and 1.03 mm. His tone is more compact and light as a feather when it needs to be. There are indeed at least two ways to listen to his Debussy. One is simply as a piece of music that you never heard before. Then you won't care about a few novel embellishments that he introduces. In his hands, the piece hangs together beautifully with a graceful line from start to finish. Was it the performance by Augustine Duques that elicited the response from Debussy's daughter Sasha something to the effect that her Dad always said that a certain passage should sound as if it were a sunray obscured by a cloud, and Duques achieved that effect so well that she came up after the performance and kissed him on the cheek?

On the other hand, someone might wish to play stern score master and point out that a few meanderings of the stream that Morales chose to follow do not seem to appear on the sacred map of the score, if indeed there is only one such map. Therefore, he has taken us to places unknown-terra incognito ("there be dragons there")-- and we must hasten to scramble back to the familiar before the dragon's fire consumes us.

Me, I love the way Morales played it. Fat chance that we need to be worried that anyone else may succeed in playing it exactly the same way.
