Here's a great Drucker recital from the Vandoren Clarinet Ensemble Festival in 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIxYFijuVwc&list=PLLAy4jbPtHv9mZ5PagQltlZsb2v2ODJTf&index=9.

He and Naomi play:
- Ponchielli, Il Convegno - A bit tame, I think. I've heard them do it better.
- The best Bernstein Sonata ever. And even Stanley can squeak once.
- Meyer Kupferman, 4 Double Features - Fairly difficult, semi-tonal.
- Gary Chung (sp.?), Sonata for Two Clarinets and Piano. It won 1st Prize at the ICA Composition Contest in 1996. It's completely tonal (reminds me of Finzi) and could have been written 100 years ago. Not difficult except for some licks in the finale. Difficult piano part.
- Paquito D'Rivera, new piece for 2 Eb, 2 Bb, 2 BHn and 2 bass. Dynamite playing by the BHn and bass players.
- Premiere of second D'Rivera piece for the same ensemble.

Naomi is a terrific player. Playing alone, she would blow you away. When Stanly plays, though, he just overwhelms everyone in tone, virtuosity and musicianship.

The rest of the concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41LM_1rkqS4&list=PLLAy4jbPtHv9mZ5PagQltlZsb2v2ODJTf&index=1 is well worth listening to.
