Ep. 27: Franklin Cohen Part 1
from The Fidelio Podcast Hosted by Marie Ross
Marie talks with Franklin Cohen, Grammy award winning clarinetist and Principal Clarinet of the Cleveland Orchestra for 39 seasons. They chat about his experience auditioning (twice!) for the Cleveland Orchestra and Lorin Maazel, expressivity on an instrument, how to find your voice as an instrumentalist (or artist), performance anxiety and accepting yourself. We hear some samples of Frank's playing including the second movement of Peter Schickele's Quartet for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano, Messiaen's solo clarinet movement from The Quartet for the End of Time, "The Abyss of the Birds", and the third movement from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto KV 622. These are all live recordings made within the last few years. They can be found in their complete versions on YouTube or on Frank's website at: www.franklincohen.com
