RE: Nielson clarinet concerto

Yeah, I think his (Goodman's) version of the Copland is just about the best thing I ever heard him do. Recall that Stanley D. (who I think is incredible in the Nielsen, BTW) also played the Copland on a "Young Person's Concert" and he seemed a bit taxed pulling it off. The old recording of Louis Cahuzac playing the Nielsen is very interesting and I doubt if it will ever find its way onto a CD. It's quite debatable for any individual clarinetist whether or not the Nielsen is worth the grunt to "master" it, but I suspect that history will certainly record this piece as a definite 20th century masterpiece for the instrument! BTW, I did get to hear Stoltzman do the Corigliano with the Seattle Symphony several years ago-just wish that he had done the Nielsen, Hindemith or almost anything else instead! Phillip
