[@MartinVejarano]

thanks for introducing me to this recording. I am a fan of Antony! and this channel too. 👌

[@clarinetninja]

Thank you! Anthony is amazing. I know he is willing to make a video talking about clarinet with me....I just have to find the time :) or more specifically convince him he has the time lol he is pretty busy.
Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@MartinVejarano]

@@clarinetninja Great, looking forward top the interview. Keep up the great work with the channel. Supporting from Brooklyn.

[@andrelanglois127]

Great clarinet player. 1979 seems a good year for clarinet, I really like Nicolas Baldeyrou. On top he is very intertaining !

[@Notreallyhillbilly]

What a brilliant selection of masterful playing, as well as an astute and provocative analysis by the Ninja. Great post!

[@clarinetninja]

Thanks! Anthony is amazing. Hearing him play this piece live was a treat that I had last week.

[@tammymavery]

❤❤❤❤❤ every note is perfection

[@clarinetninja]

Truth

[@cltplayer]

Very well done Jay....it would be great if you could get an interview with him on your show to hear 'his' story because as you say, we all have our own

[@clarinetninja]

Thanks Gary! I have reached out - we do live across the street from one another...I hope we can find the time to make it happen. I would be overjoyed to have the chance to talk with him about it

[@vicente1049]

Es un digno sucesor de Stanley, y un clarinetista genial, junto a pascual Martínez, son una dupla fantástica

[@clarinetninja]

There is nobody more perfect to take the tradition forward after Stanley. Pascal (whom I don't know as well) is a great player and a terrific person. It is a great section!

[@robertatallo9771]

He’s definitely channeling Drucker.

[@lillianhusbymelien5471]

Thank you for letting us know so much new about this extraordinary brilliant clarinet player. By the way - have you heard him play the super simple melody “Summertime”?

[@clarinetninja]

@@lillianhusbymelien5471 I have not heard him play summertime. Anthony’s sense of musical line is extraordinary. The way he played simple gifts at Obama’s inauguration is a great example of all he does. Simple lines are exquisite - difficult music (also in the arrangement) sounds precise and easy. He has a remarkable skill set.
Thanks for watching and commenting:)
