The first LP I ever owned (it was a gift when I was a boy) was this concerto played by Benny Goodman. I would say you sound as good as Benny Goodman. The only thing I would add is some concert-hall reverberation, to the clarinet, if possible, to glamourize the sound of the clarinet slightly, to give it more of a sense of a large space (to match the space that the orchestra was recorded in).

@agent8698 Thankyou, you are very kind :) I did a tribute concert to Benny Goodman on 1st May, Copland Concerto and Gould Derivations, I encourage you to look those up, they are live performances in a church with a little reverb :)

Kathy, can I ask what you were doing when (I think) you were quickly blowing into a certain tone hole?

[kathywilliams76]

@baroquescholar There was water in the keyhole I was just blowing it out

[agent8698]

@kathywilliams76 okay I'll look at those. I played clarinet as a boy for a few years, and the most difficult technical thing I remember was rapid staccato notes, because instead of ta-ta-ta-ta, you would do something like ta-ka-ta-ka, which seemed impossibly difficult at the time.
