Wow is he good5
Was looking for a new recording of some French clarinet music. Looked through the list of many such recordings and found this. Wow, this clarinet player can play. His rendition of the Poulanc is remarkable to hear. If you like this sort of music, this is one of the disks to own. Also a good clean sounding disk. When I ripped this into iTunes, the song list ended up in Japanese so I did have to recreate the list in english.

French Clarinet Art2
Some musical interpretations are questionable; others are delightful. Upper register very strident. I found the fast tonguing on the SECOND movement of the Saint-Saens Sonata to be very impressive and not musically objectionable. The altissimo is definitely in-your-face, though; a no-no in my tonal concept.

What`s happened with a Poulenc?1
So many "fast notes" - and no music at all. If you really love music - never listen it. "To play fast" does not mean "to play good", and this one considering the thesis. Worst of all is Saent Saens, the best music i ever heard (and played) - this performance can really make a heart attack. "French sound" on a so light reed? With such a small dynamics? And, finally, what the heck happened with a Poulenc? Why these guys thought Poulenc are they and made "edition" of Sonata? Awful. Learn more, guys. :(
