 Don't like the sound of American clarinet
Author: ChuChu 
Date:   2015-10-08 02:11

I'm listening to players like Steve Williamson, Mark Nuccio, Ricardo Morales, Charles Neidich and other American clarinet orchestra pros in live concert and recordings and I'm just not impressed by any of them. They seem to fall short in terms of sound quality, interpretation, the diversity of the repertoire and needs more development to reach perfection. For example, Nuccio is a player that I think has a rather unrefined and poor sound with mediocre style to his playing. But, this guy has been principal in NYP for a long time and I can't believe it. Williamson lacks a good sound to my ears , and has lousy interpretation of music. Morales sounds too subdued and muted with lack of dynamic power and projection and vibrancy.

Where can I hear clarinet perfection in the US? The most favorable sound I heard is from a French player, Paul Meyer and he is really amazing. Is the US lagging behind Europe in clarinet playing and development?
