Music reviews of Reginald Kell: Complete American Decca Recordings

Music Review: Mr. Kell - AT LAST!!!
Rating: 5 Stars

When I studied clarinet in university (late 1960's, early 1970's), Kell was almost suppressed. I am not sure whether that was done intentionally or not. But we were all told that it was "hard" to get a good recording of Kell, because they were almost all "old" and "scratched up" 78s. I don't remember if there were any 33 & 1/3 LPs out on his later 1950's recordings, but the whole attitude was: "You WILL NOT be interested in Reginald Kell!" Well, that did not stop me, but with the twists and turns of life, I never got back to trying to find any recording of his work, until I learned DG had published this 6 CD set, off original Decca masters, as I understand it.

Yes. There is his tone. It is, to me, a deep, throaty, "big band" tone, and there is also the vibrato. I have intensely studied the horn for over 50 years, and I have perfected my tone and it is my tone. I am too old a bear to try to change that. BUT, his breathing, his articulation, his phrasing, etc., those can and will benefit me, and they are benefiting me, if for no other reason, than I get to hear his take on many of the pieces I have studied and performed all my life.

Personally, I LIKE HIS TONE, because of what he was trying to do with it (try and project his tone as a human voice through the horn). But it seems that when I studied clarinet, every teacher was almost paranoid about his tone. There are also his water color / pencil works of visual art, where he tried to give to the hearing-impaired some kind of subconscious or even unconscious awareness, via their eyes, as to what his playing sounded like. Now, I do not know if he knew this, but if you take, say, a mid-range "F" scale on the piano, and take those notes up 40 octaves, you no longer have sound, but VISIBLE LIGHT!

Perhaps he did consciously know this when he executed his water color / pencil works (which I believe are STUNNING, no other word describes them), or, perhaps he did. If he did not consciously know, did his intuition some how guide him when he did the visual art? I don't know.

But if you put ALL the pieces of Mr. Kell together, his performances on the clarinet, what he was trying to do, his visual art, and I suspect other aspects of him, I believe you come up with a real genius, and, over all, the BEST Clarinetist of the 20th Century.

Young folks need to hear him now, so if they are serious about the clarinet, as I was, am, and will be, they can factor Mr. Kell into what they want to do with the horn. This is as it should be. I know I will do such factoring myself, now that we can REALLY LISTEN TO HIM.
