Thank you very much, Ken.

It was interesting to revisit this 1993 recording after 25 years – I haven't listened to it for at least 10, and was struck by the fact that the Crusell concerti (and the Weber ones) are now available on Spotify. (I couldn't find my copy.)

All these performances are on period instruments – gut strings, hand-horns, and so on. My own instrument for the Crusell was a copy of a 9-key Grenser boxwood instrument by Daniel Bangham of Cambridge, now of Cambridge Woodwind Makers and owner of Wood Wind and Reed, also in Cambridge.

Crusell played on an 11-key Grenser himself. Neither of us had the benefit of Moba cocobolo barrels, Moennig reverse-taper or not – or of Silverstein ligatures and Legere reeds, not to mention Yamaha cutting-edge technology. SO last-but-one and last century...;-)

Tony
