Hi Everyone -

I've been away from clarinet playing for 27 years (I took a side trip into early music, playing Baroque recorder, which then led me into early keyboard playing [harpsichord and clavichord]), and I am only now getting back to my clarinet.

When I was in high school, my clarinet instructor suggested I work on the Mozart Clarinet Concerto and to give me an example of performing it, she played a recording of Robert Marcellus playing it with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. He became the standard I tried to reach for.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what happened to him. I couldn't find any other recordings by him. Is he still alive? I have no idea how old he was when he recorded the Mozart.

Thanks much!

Kathy
