Hi all,
Everybody seems to be having a go about this subject so I thought that I
would have a quick go.
To me vibrato is something that has times when it should be used and
times when it shouldn't. I think that players should be able to turn it
on and off as the music requires, I know a lot of players that cannot do
this. I suspect that Phil McCann probably can't do this, I wouldn't
swear by this though. On the subject of the aformentioned I agree that
he has an excellent technique and recordings such as the second movement
of Contest Music display what he is really capable of doing, however
from the number of stories that I've heard about him such as sitting
with a score when conductors we're taking Dyke through there paces, or
warming up backstage during another bands performance at a concert, I
don't think he is the sort of player I would want in my band. I have
never actually met him, so I must stress that all I have said comes from
people I talk to, but I don't think that so many people could have got
the wrong impression.

Cheers
Phil

PS Hope this doesn't offend anyone.
