Re: Gershwin's Rhapsody letter (new)

Perhaps because it was the first recording I ever heard of Rhapsody in Blue (at age 8), and perhaps because I was mesmermized by the smooth gliss from below the break all the way up, my favorite recording is a 1959 Warner Brothers Symphony performance, conducted by (Ray) Heindorf (identified by last name only), with Bert Shefter on the piano. The album cover is a classic with two satin ribbons -- one black, and the other red. (Later albums had the ribbons printed in a blue and reddish orange color.) Dan Lube is identified as the violin soloist, but there's no mention of the clarinetist. I've always wondered who it was .... does anyone on the list have an opinion ?
