A wise man once told me, "A conductor is just as responsible for the solo as the soloist is." The way I translate that to this situation is if the audience thinks "Wow that was slower then I'm used to," then it is partly the conductors fault for his choice of tempo (or lack of cues, expression points, etc.) If I were a conductor rather then a clarinetist, I would check with all my soloists in private and ask them about tempos, expression points, whether or not they want to be cued, etc. to find out what would make my orchestra sound the best and then give the soloist the tools to complete that task. If it were me, I would talk to the conductor in private and ask about changing the tempo of your solo exerpt and see what he says. Worst thing he could say is no.
