I have to disagree with you on this one Ken. In my view the sound of all players on this Hacker Mozart Quintet recording is little short of ideal. This is a great account from the sonic and musical perspective.

Hacker was more controversial in his accounts of the Brahms Sonatas and Trio on another original instruments Amon Ra recording. His sound there was gruff and at times pushed well to the extremes. On the other hand, it is a wonderfully vivid account which you would probably love or hate. I love it.

Hacker also helped me with some information following an enquiry I made. I think he is a very pleasant person and a wonderful asset to the clarinet world.
