The third disc in the Cala series featuring principals
from the New York Philharmonic showcases Principal Clarinet Stanley Drucker. Joining
the orchestra at 19, he served for over 50 years, during which time he was named
Musical America's Instrumentalist of the Year, and is one of the few
living orchestral musicians whose biography appears in New Grove. Here
he presents a fascinating cross-section of solo clarinet repertoire.
