Re: Cleveland orchestra principal or did we miss something

I was told a story by a friend and colleague of David Shifrin when he took over for Marcellus. During a rehearsal he used a touch of vibrato. One of the old-timers in front of him turned around and said something to the effect of, "Sonny boy. We don't do that here." Replacing a great player who played one way with a great player who plays in a different style can be very traumatic for the successor. Look at what has happened in Chicago after Herseth retired and in New York after Drucker retired. From all the stories I've heard and hearing his playing on their televised concerts, Mark Nuccio is another player who was left in limbo. The woodwind section loved him but they continued to string him along with the interim tag. They also did that for bass clarinet. Maybe Boston is a rare bird. They hired Hudgins and he has been there ever since. How many members of the audience are thinking I don't like the clarinetist because he sounds a little too bright? His staccato is too short? His/her tone is not focused enough? The answer is obvious - very, very few. This is all very sad.
