I just listened to it. It's the best performance I've ever heard -- very lyrical with only a bit of madness. The snare drummer was wearing a medal and deserved it. He was totally integrated into the ensemble, complementing as well as challenging Leppäniemi and commenting on phrases from other sections of the orchestra. This was by far the most lyrical performance I've heard, even more so than the original Cahuzac recording and with the complete technical assurance that Cahuzac couldn't muster.

Other recordings are too mad (Ib Erickson), too show-offy (Drucker) or make it sound too easy (Sabine Meyer).

There was a nice interview, in English, with Leppäniemi after the performance.

He did a bit of double tonguing and circular breathing, all with no fanfare. His clarinet was a Buffet Prestige and he was pretty clearly using a plain-vanilla non-inverted Bonade ligature and a thin pad on top of the mouthpiece. His embouchure was unusual, with part of his lower lip outside of his teeth.

I hadn't realized how small the orchestra was -- half-compliment strings (except for a full double bass section), 2 bassoon 2 horns and snare drum.

If there's an archive, I'll definitely download it.
