The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Idolizing the past

Author: DaphnisetChloe  Date:   2020-11-02 15:07 That's a good point Ken, and no doubt you're right. Fuzzy: e.g. Robert Marcellus and Harold Wright seem to be regarded as flawless gods of the U.S clarinet tradition. Listening to recordings on YouTube of these players and other old greats (including from other nationalities) I notice that in some pieces their playing is incredible, and others it is nothing exceptional, yet the same comments of adoration apply regardless. For recordings of famous clarinet players still living and performing today the critiques seem to be far less forgiving. Disclaimer: I am not an American, however I obviously respect the grand US heritage of clarinetistry and mean no harm by this post. Just opening up what to me is an interesting topic James
