What is your Favorite orchestral clarinet section?

In North America I have two orchestras who I feel have the best clarinets overall as a group. To your aurprise they are San Fransico Symphony with David Breeden, Luiz Baez, David Neumann and Donald Carroll who is a great Bass Clarinet player. The other section is also the Chicago Symphony with Coombs, Greg Smith, John Bruce Yeh and I also believe Julie LaRoche. Both groups have excellent integration of tone and blend. When I was younger I had a great chance of studying at a summer camp with David Glazer and he told me to get a record of the Chicago symphony playing Bruckner 9 and ever since I have been in love with this sonority of tone. As of late I have enjoyed the San Fransico Symphony recordings of Roger Sessions symphonies and truly admired the excellent blend of this section.

Is the placing of this thread meant to imply that these sections use a particularly Klezmer style? I can't say that I'd noticed.
