@hodgrix I left julliard stopped playing took up greek playing this is an enormous effort there is a cello  solo in I forget which movement that is knock out

[theoldar]

God like.

[HaraldReinhart]

absolutely fantastic playing. Great sound - Shiffrin really got it. Not often that a Boehm clarinet has such a warm deep sonorous sound, making it a bit mysterious and so romantic. AAA+ rating from me for this recording!

[ueblondon]

this movement is perfect

This is Beautiful. Look also at (amazing) "Complete Brahms Clarinet Quintet initial run through "

[chocotastic]

Wow. You usually don't find live performances living up to their best recordings, but, and especially the case with Shifrin's recording with the Emerson Quartet, this absolutely lives up to that quality. All I can say is, Wow. The dude's still got it in him to this day.
