Does anyone know who the former bass clarinetist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orkest was?
As much as I love Davide Lattuada's(the current bass clarinetist of RCO) playing, I listened to the recordings of Rachmaninov's works by Vladimir Ashkenazy & the RCO(links below) and was blown away by the clarity & fullness of the bass clarinet. I know the former principal clarinetist was the late George Pieterson, but can't figure out who the former bass clarinetist was.

Yes, Davide Lattuada used to be in the Orch Santa Cecellia(with Alessandro Carbonare). However, I was asking about his predecessor which Luuk has provided the answer to, so thanks for that Luuk!
Love both of their playing, amazing in each of their own right.

Lattuada has incredible tone in the upper reg, plays very lyrically, it's really quite incredible, but I'm never convinced once he gets to the low stuff, always a bit "blatty" sounding for me down there....

Donald,
Interesting that you think Lattuada has a 'blatty' tone, though this all comes down to subjective perception. I find his sound often on the darker side ie less 'ring' and mellower than Van Keulen's!

Only in the lower range, in the right hand and extended range. Note I wrote his upper range was extraordinarily good.

Yes Donald, I've noted what you've said about Lattuada's upper range, and I agree, while I somewhat prefer Van Keulen's lower range(see recordings on my top post), it had more 'zing' and liveliness that I prefer!
