Title: Great and informative but not without faults
Review: Larry Combs is one of the greatest players to ever play the instrument. His comments on this recording are extremely helpful, concise, and very casual - absolutely no pretention at all. Unfortunately, it wasn't recorded very well. It seems to have been mic'ed too close and with too much reverb. It not only distorts Comb's tone, making it sound more diffuse than he actually sounds, one also gets many extraneous noises from keys clicking to even faint sounds of trucks driving by!Also, some of the selections are a little out of date. There are certain excerpts that weren't included which show up on more orchestral auditions than some of the ones included. Firebird, Daphnis, Ginastera's Variaciones Concertante, etc. show up on a lot of lists these days.Regardless, this is an essential educational tool for any serious clarinetist.
