I'm writing this to ask for suggestions, not to get into a big long "is there or isn't there" discussion about national styles. (Although if that's where people want to go, fine, I don't think it's been litigated on the board recently...)
I'm specifically inquiring about "the English sound" because, if it exists, presumably it does so on big-bore equipment (Eatons or Boosey 1010s) and if that type of equipment yields a particular 'style' that's distinct in character from what's achieved with French or American-designed (American because Tom Ridenour, of course) clarinets and mouthpieces, I'd like to know about it.
So: does anyone want to recommend current recordings (I'm asking current because the recorded sound will be better) of English-school artists? (who are indisputably recording on big-bore instruments and mouthpieces?)
And, if anyone has experience playing a big-bore instrument and blending with a modern clarinet section or ensemble, and wants to chime in on how it went, I'd be curious to read what you have to say!
