Paul,

You make a very good point with "visually clue you in to (or rather, augment) what parts were dominant and/or which players were playing figures together." I saw those clues (or maybe cues...) but it did not register since it worked so well.

When one "sees" a vocalist, particularly in a stage show, a good part of the presentation involves gestures, movements, and various other devices to include a visual image as well as a musical sensing for the audience.

Or as a conductor friend of mine always says "that's show business."

PS The LSWO is really an amazing wind ensemble. Great recording and camera work as well. Here's a link to information on the concert this past April where the Barcelona player appeared. https://lswo.com/barcelona-clarinet-players-return-to-dallas-for-a-clinic-and-concert/
