Description: John McCaw was a leading clarinetist in London orchestras and spent 22 years as First Clarinet in the New Philharmonia in its great days under Klemperer, Muti and Sinopoli. Gives a little family background - father played the clarinet and taught John. Father also played in cinema orchestras until the advent of sound, which precipitated a family crisis. Describes these early experiences vividly and mentions how Vernon Griffiths influenced him at the Dunedin technical College. Recalls playing in the framed RNZAF Band; in the National Orchestra and with Frank Gurr, another clarinetist, setting out from England in 1948. Recalls studying with Frederick Thurston, eventually becoming principal clarinet in the London Philharmonic under Edward van Beinum, another great conductor. Comments on instruments, styles and clarinet repertoire and gives an excellent description of the character of the clarinet as a wind instrument.
