	Reginald Kell American Decca Recordings 477 5280 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- September 2005 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Some of Reginald Kell’s English Columbia recordings have been re-released by Testament but this is the first significant collection of a body of his discs to have been released for very many years.
		Kell’s most famous recording of the Brahms Quintet was with the Busch, pre-War and I don’t think his Fine Arts traversal of 1951 really challenges it.
		Kell had played the Stravinsky Three Pieces to the composer in 1934 and his 1951 recording is a testament to his mastery of them; no wonder Stravinsky had inscribed Kell’s copy for him, a reproduction of which forms one of the several splendid photographs in the booklet.

		Reginald Kell was a leading wind exponent of this freer approach.
		The recordings of Charles and Haydn Draper, Frederick Thurston and Reginald Kell are proof of this occurrence.
		Reginald Kell plays marvellously on the clarinet, and the Willoughby Quartet impress by the neatness and confidence of their performance.

	Frederick Thurston (clarinet) Recital SYMPOSIUM 1259 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Jan 2004 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		After the primacy of Charles Draper the leading British clarinettists of their generation were Frederick Thurston and Reginald Kell, both known admiringly by the names Jack and Reg.
		Kell moved to America after the Second War where he became as influential a figure on his instrument as had cellist Felix Salmond before him.
		He succeeded Kell as principal clarinet of the Philharmonia and but maintained his position as the leading clarinettist in the country for only a short time; a lung was removed in 1952 and he died the following year.

	BENIGN WINDS GET A HEARING - New York Times
		Hacker seems to have studied, and been inhibited by, the superbly musical 78 rpm version by Reginald Kell and the Busch.
		Kell's mannerisms, but evidently without capturing the musical reasons for them.
		The result is an interpretation at odds not only with the Fitzwilliam's dispassionately modern approach to the music, but also with his own, when not toying with Kell's ideas.

	Listening Highlights: On The Track: Another musical birthday - 3.00pm
		This afternoon ABC Classic FM takes a little time to mark what would be the 100th birthday of one of the world’s finest clarinettist, Reginald Kell.
		Kell was born in York in the UK in 1906.
		He left school at 14 to work as a machinist and it was at this time he picked up the clarinet.

	The Clarinet BBoard
		The idea of Kell's playing representing what was common in Britain at the time can be taken a good deal too far.
		Kell was always on the extreme, and by the time he sat down with the Fine Arts he had fallen off the end of the scale.
		I didn't think his vibrato on the recording was that extreme, nor was it unpleasant --- in general I found the performance to be very musical and energetic (and I'm not at all a proponent of vibrato on clarinet, usually I'm dead-set against it).

	TIME.com: Respectable Rabbit -- Jan. 3, 1949 -- Page 1
		At 15, it seemed to Reginald Kell that "there must be some easier way out than engineering." So he took up the clarinet.
		Last week, tall, ruddy Clarinetist Reginald Kell, recognized as one of the world's best, let Manhattan judge his respectability in person for the first time.
		"What the jazz boys have done with the clarinet," says Kell, "is colossal." Goodman was one of the first to greet him on his arrival, and at lunch later at the Stork Club, complimented him on his "free and warm" playing on records of Schubert's Der Hirt auf dem Felsen.

	Reginald Kell - $17.90 - from Norbeck, Peters & Ford
		REGINALD KELL: Mourant, Debussy, Yradier, Raybould, Kreisler, Robinson, Harrison, Balfe, Porter-Brown, Clutsam, Stephen Foster, etc. (England) Clarinet Classics CC0049, recorded 1942-55.
		"Reginald Kell was one of the finest clarinetists of the 20th Century.Kell was one of the first to use vibrato, a controversy that persists in clarinet circles to this day.The sound is of course mono, but clear as a bell and warm — I think I would be disappointed not to hear this in monaural.
		This is a fine tribute to a great player and a long-forgotten style that was once very popular.

		Reginald Kell and the Busch Quartet recorded Brahms's Clarinet Quintet for HMV in 1937.
		Kell, as always, is a godsend, and stylistically, he and the Busches are a perfect match.

	Evelyn Lear at 80: Time to Listen Back On a Stellar Career
		Recordings by the surpassingly lyrical British clarinetist Reginald Kell (1906-1981) were always much sought after by collectors.
		There was a problem with Kell's discs, however: They were issued on early Decca LPs, which had some of the worst surfaces of any albums ever made.
		It was as though somebody had skated on them: Even once you found the discs, you would have a terrible time hearing Kell through all the snaps, crackles and pops.

	The heritage of English clarinet virtuosi
		The mouthpiece of the set doesn’t show any traces of the teeth, because Reginald Kell always used a double lip embouchure.
		The B levers for L4 are bent so as to lie much higher than on most instruments; a piece of cloth is glued below the thumb-rest; both of these modifications were made by Kell himself.

		The same pairing in more energetic performances can be found in a DG disc of the Emerson Quartet with David Shifrin and on an older Philips disc with clarinetist Harold Wright.
		For the Brahms, no one should be without the vintage Reginald Kell/Busch Quartet version.
		In stereo, Sony's David Oppenheim/Budapest Quartet reading reminds us that the Viennese way with this music was dated even in its own time, while the Karl Leister/Leipzig String Quartet version on MDG should interest those wanting a central European approach with more muscle than displayed by the Viennese.

	Stolzman Interview
		His son is a clarinetist, so the affinities for the instrument, the setting of balances and musical interplay, just flow out, almost without the need to comment verbally.
		The ability to 'cross over' (which is really contemporary, as a means of selling artists to new listeners) was not a clear demarcation.
		I always thought one's technique could serve music, whatever it is. But sure, I thought Kell was great.

		The connection between all this and Spain and Rossini are just real enough to lend verisimilitude to good merchandizing.
		Lluna plays with a very loose lip - aping I would assume the sainted Reginald Kell.
		It is good, easy, virtuoso singing - for the clarinet is that instrument closest to the human voice.

		However, critics decided that Goodman's own unique style of play only improved with these changes.

		In the same period, Goodman became the first famous jazz musician to achieve success performing classical repertory.
		His early training with Schoepp had prepared him for this dual career by laying the foundation for a "legitimate" clarinet technique, which he continued to improve in later study with Reginald Kell.
		In 1935, he performed Mozart's Clarinet Quintet before an invited audience in the home of John Hammond, and three years later he recorded the work with the Budapest String Quartet.

		"Jonathan Cohler's reputation grows by the year, and some important critics compare his genuinely unique sound and performances to those of superstars like Dinu Lipatti, Youri Egorov, and the legendary British clarinetist, Reginald Kell.
		(Personally, I prefer Cohler's warm sound to Kell's).
		Cohler's tone is in fact the single most gorgeous clarinet sound I know of, and I have come to prefer it to my erstwhile favorite, Richard Stoltzman...Cohler possesses such musical integrity and taste that everything he touches seems like the last word.
