The sound is attenuated strangely. It makes it hard to hear details with the sound so muffled (I liked the SOUND of the original recording much better).

Tuning is a constant work in progress particularly for clarinet playing with piano. You cannot just tune to concert "A" and call it a day. You need to be cognizant of where you are flat or sharp to the notes around you and adjust (even if the piano is wrong, you are only in tune if all of you play the same relative frequency, even is THAT is technically wrong).

I still thought the pianist was disadvantaged not being able to see the cellist's bowing. And even though you were at the pianist side, you were angled such that you were not even able to have his movements in the corner of your eye. Fortunately, constant run throughs make it more obvious what each of you tend to do. Unfortunately because we are not robots, each of you need to respond to what the other it doing IN THE MOMENT, and no amount of rehearsals will fix that.

Quite good end result though.
