1. As a professional clarinetist myself, I have to say that all the stupid, negative comments about this outstanding young soloist's physical movement, etc. are so obviously from envious amateurs and other hacks who likely couldn't play their way out of a paper bag. If not, I challenge them each to post their own clips showing them doing better than this performer. Go look up Sabine Meyer on YouTube; she's probably the finest clarinet soloist in the world, and she moves more than anyone.

2. Add to that list David Shifrin, Jon Manasse, Richard Stoltzman, Elsa Ludewig-Verdehr... I studied with all four of them, and they all move in this way when they play. People, it's customary when you're sitting in a band that you conform to sitting mostly still, but soloists and chamber musicians are more free to do what works for them in feeling the music, expressing, cuing and projecting.

very very good but @sonataopus73 Sabine Meyer is one of the best not the finest Stanley Drucker sits on that throne

i love this piece so much! it is very underplayed but one of my favorite clarinet pieces.

very good clarinet player!! :D

[ayuprnkcller]

Very well played. But I think if you listened to the arias in the opera, you can probably get a better understanding of how to phrase, dynamics, etc.

yo estudie clarinete con el General Peron y la embocadura jamàs se practica con la punta del pene!!! sonido pedorreico. Auf Wiedersehen... vayanse a ala chucha todos los uevones.

All the argument about movement is stupid. Some clarinetists move around like they are having a seizure. Others are so still that you wonder if they are actually still alive as they are playing. As long as the end product is good(and I mean the auditory product), does it really matter how he moves or does not move? I move some during play. Some movements can be destructive to playing while others just help the player himself get through the piece. So moving. Whatever. Just enjoy his performance.

i think he did a great job! andi i can say this for sure because i' m a clarinetist, too...

Its been referred to a concertino- the difference between a concerto and concertino is the structure- Concerto has three movements and concertino has one (usually).

[klarinetta]

In my opinion Sabine Meyer is good but not great. I for example think that Wensel Fusch is better for the German style of playing. And yes you do have to close your eyes to listen to her as the moving is disturbing.
