It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Celeveland winds

"I'm not familiar with Rautenberg. Did he do make solo records?"

Did a search.... Nothing on Amazon, nothing on YouTube......

Maybe the best you can find is the Dohnanyi/Cleveland Dvorak 6 and Schumann 3..... The latter is a work where the flute plays with the strings during a good part of the work. The Dvorak, the third movement, there is a wind passage in the center part, maybe the best wind playing on recording outside the Szell era. Rautenberg is also on Dohnanyi's Dvorak 8, which was posted on YouTube. See link below. (This was at the very end of Cleveland's "virtuosic period", around 1984 or 1985..... One of Adelstein's last recordings. This is the only Dvorak symphony I prefer Dohnanyi's performance over Szell's.)

Rautenberg wasn't prominent..... He hasn't gotten a lot of press outside of Cleveland. He's no longer with the Orchestra, and I don't know where he went after that.

There are several clips of Cleveland's current flutist, Joshua Smith, on YouTube. None if it wow'ed me. But here is a link ....
