@beckpatr1 I think that depends on who you ask and why you think the German system is better. Tonally there isnt much in it. In fact I play clarinet in an orchestra where everyone apart from me plays the German system and my sound it just as good as any of theirs. The tone comes from the player not the clarinet. Mechanically the french / boehm clarinet is eleganter and efficienter.
not sure who is playing but Karl Leister comes to mind. He recorded the piece with a Japanese label some time ago and the sound and interpretation is similar to what I remember from this recording.
However, he plays a Wurlitzer German system clarinet, not the one shown on the video.
sutermeister was/is a very good composer, unfortunately a bit forgotten right now although this year will be celebrated his 100th birthday... in AUGUST! i love his cello concertos! and his REQUIEM!
I heard it from Sara's Butler Senior Recital, it was great!
