This is a film made in 1972 with Yehudi and Jeremy Menuhin and Thea King. While one might say that the clarinet sound is bright, still it is a very moving performance, and exciting.(She treats the dotted eights and 16ths more a la Baroque than what is written) I was especially moved by Mr. Menuhin. Even from the first pizzicato he attracts musical interest, and his son (I surmise) plays the last two bars of the slow movement with a beauty that one seldom hears.(But, is there an error in the clarinet part, 2nd movement?) The middle of the last movement just floats in space as it should). Please see and hear this.
