Are you sure this is Chicago Symphony? That doesn't sound like Clark Brody at all. I guess they could have someone else sitting first clarinet but thats not likely.

The orchestra in this video is, without a doubt, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

a great soul, a great mind.. 3 khovanschina is very original piece of gold, don't know anything like it.

Yes, it's joke, sorry! It's just that generally the Buffet sound can come over as a bit bland on recordings. Marcellus' had a great tone.

I don't know if you intentionally did this but your joke about clarinet, for me at least, is funny beyond the fact that you are poking a little fun (in good humor) at the clarinet. I'm a clarinet player and the clarinetist in the Cleveland Orchestra while George Szell was there is arguably the greatest orchestral clarinetist ever (and in my opinion, the absolute greatest): the true American-style clarinetist, Robert Marcellus. Gasp...

Vivaldifan-Solti would be near the top of any list,but Szell would be at the top of most lists.

billyguns2-What of Felix Weingartner,Bruno Walter,Serge Kousevitsky of the old Boston,as well as Arturo Toscanini,and Otto Klemperer.I do agree that Szell would be near or at at the top of any list.These aforementioned conductors were right up there with him,as were the others that you accorded honourable mention.
