Yes, from the days when the big Clarinet Festivals were still recorded on tape, this is Wright at the top of his game: Depth, resonance, overtone complexity, color, shape, focus, lumenesence and musicianship all in one package. He does a grand spectacular performance of the Rossini without needing an extraneous extended cadenza, and his Bozza is deep and mysterious as it should be.
Sometimes I forget exactly why I think Wright is my personal favorite of all the clarinetists I've ever heard, but when I rehear tapes like these, then I remember why. Sadly he doesn't seem to have any real successors; there is no "Wrightian" school of clarinet playing to continue his line.
