Among today's postings is one by Philip Caron; he provides links to performances by the late Harold Wright, who was principal of the Boston Symphony. Wright, a student of Ralph McLane, was a double lip player and a superb clarinetist. If you are not familiar with Wright's playing you owe it to yourself to listen to him. Other recordings of his include the Brahms sonatas, op. 120, nos. 1&2.(Boston Records) I've never heard better playing. The legendary British clarinetist, Reginald Kell, also played double lip. Playing double lip may not make you sound like Wright, but it won't "break your mother's back" or place a 7-year curse on your first-born either.
