 Re: Stanley Drucker, 1929-2022.

One of the all time greatest ... I heard him perform live a number of occasions, starting in the late 1960s. Also heard his very last performance of the Copland in New Jersey.

Stanley Drucker was in a class all by himself in terms of his mastery of the instrument and his musicianship. As good as he sounded on recordings, in a live setting he sounded 100 times better.

Remarkably, Stanley Drucker always seemed to be having a blast. He appeared to just love the music that he was making and that has was a part of. Unlike so many orchestral musicians, he never became jaded or lost his enthusiasm for the pure joy of music. That's an incredibly rare quality.

If ever there was a gold standard in orchestral clarinetists, Stanley Drucker was it. I feel for Naomi Drucker and for his son and daughter and the other members of his family. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Drucker.
