Vandoren Interview with Senior VIP Stanley Drucker regarding his career
experiences, development, and the Heritage Series recently released
The Heritage Collection
encompassing 2 editions Vol 1 - 5 CDs, and 2nd Edition - 2 CDs showcase
legendary performances by Legend of the New York Philharmonic Stanley
Drucker. The 2nd Edition contains Hallmark performances of the
most important achievements including the Debussy Rhapsody and the
Nielsen Clarinet Concerto with Leonard Bernstein, and the Corigliano
Clarinet Concerto with Zubin Mehta. To have these 3 hallmarks plus
many other master performances, should be in every clarinetist's
possession, especially teachers and serious students. I know
of no other offering with such power of artistry. All the works recorded
here including the Bartok Contrasts, recorded by Bela Bartok's son
Peter, the most definative Bartok ever recorded, and the performances of
the Spohr 6 German Songs with renowned soprano Judith Blegen is
exemplary. A suggested required collection students should
have to open their minds about great playing and a goal setter.

ORCHESTRA
The Chamber Orchestra of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino counts among its ranks
musicians that reached the apex of the instrumental maturity thanks to the
experience gained over the years within the prestigious Florentine Theater under
the guidance of the greatest conductors of all time including Zubin Mehta, Carlo
Maria Giulini, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Carlos Kleiber, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard
Bernstein Claudio Abbado, Georges Prêtre, Seiji Ozawa, Riccardo Muti, Lorin
Maazel, Semyon Bychkov, Myung-Whung Chung.
They propose themselves as sensitive interpreters in adapting the timbre and
phrasing to the expressive needs of a repertoire that ranges from the great
Italian instrumental music of the 1700s, to European romanticism, to the various
artistic currents of the 20th century, combining the typical brightness of the
sound Italian to a rigorous care and discipline.
The Chamber musicians have by their nature a flexible and variable staff based
on the contexts and repertoires entrusting soloist parts of great virtuosity to
the soloists of the group, all first parts of the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale
Fiorentino.
Cameristi del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino has the privilege of bringing the name
of the Florentine Theater to the world: they are regularly guests of
International Relevant Festivals, they perform in prestigious halls and boast
collaborations with leading soloists of the international scene, including
Placido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, Salvatore Accardo, Pinchas Zukerman, Mario
Brunello, Andrea Lucchesini, Vadim Repin, Boris Berezovsky, Daniele Callegari,

and Karin Lechner.

professors, graduated both in Italian music conservatories and from prestigious
academies all over the world.

are hosted during the season, all winners of national and international
competitions.
Young and promising conductors who will alternate in the orchestra direction
