Post Subject: Nice tip, Romy, and an unusual CD to try ...Posted by JANDL100 on: 8/14/2008
Thanks for the recommendation, Romy, I've just ordered the Bohm disc from Amazon Market Place - less than £3 delivered!
A Mozart clarinet concerto recording that is unusual and worth looking out for is by the Managing Director (CEO) of the Musical Fidelity hifi equipment company, Anthony Michaelson. Yes, he's an amateur clarinetist, but the joy he finds in playing the piece is very well communicated and contagious. I've heard that at the end of the recording session, he was seen wandering around the studio muttering "I DID it, I DID it !!". Clearly a labour of love. It was issued by Musical Fidelity as MF018. Sure, there are other and probably better played recordings (I like de Peyer, for example) but Michaelson's is one that I treasure.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
