The formidable clarinet player Guy Arnaud died this morning.

An associate of Pierre Boulez, he was solo bass clarinet of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, as well as director of the Orchestre Colonne.

He appeared on many recordings of 20th century music, including Boulez’s extraodinary tribute to Frank Zappa.
