All right, this one may be a bit controversial.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0mIhjhUnjQ

First, some acknowledgements:

* Ms. Nadja Drakslar is a brilliant technical player with a great sound and intonation, who just got in front of hundreds as a young musician and did a better job than I could in the privacy of my practice room.

* Ms. Drakslar may have been playing the piece according to instructions, like the conductor's, that may not have been her choice way to play the work.

But I feel the problem here is that, and I admit, I'm being critical of an otherwise (near? age?) professional clarinetist, is her lack of contrast in sound levels.

Again--others may review this good or bad and for different reasons.

I also suspect I am pointing things out that in 2 years time since this video, Ms. Drakslar has, with musical maturity, ceased to do anymore, assuming the lack of dynamic was even her choice to begin with.

She's also rushing a bit too, but Sabine Meyer's been no less guilty of this occasionally too. Maybe rushing is a bad word. I normally associate rushing with players desiring to play at the concert speed, but playing too fast. Here, picking up the tempo may have been desired.
