Great tribute to John de Lancie, my woodwind phrasing instructor at Curtis (1981-85). One correction: The first Celibidache concert took place at Penn's Landing, not at the Academy of Music. And Mr. de Lancie also brought in John Minsker (former English Horn of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Curtis class of 1934) to teach a woodwind quintet class from 1980 to 1985. The importance of his classes cannot be underestimated. David McGill -- Principal bassoon, Chicago Symphony Orchestra

It seems that Columbia recorded the Quintet in a studio, ratter than, at least a small hall and this causes the instruments to sound a little on the small side. They certainly deserved better!It interesting to note that Mr. de Lancie's vibrato is rather small in these early recordings, but in the Francaix, Ibert, Satie recording it is larger and therefore, easier to hear.
