Emma SJ is that true??

Wow! What an honor!

The man was a musical genius. We will not see his like again.

[@jamesdimasi4640]

A true legend who completely mastered his instrument. I had the pleasure of seeing him interviewed when he was in his 80's. His mind was still razor sharp and he could easily recall events that occured half a century ago.

[@Harmonicando]

You can consider yourself a lucky man, saw and heard live, the Maestro.

[@cliffworks748]

besides his superb playing i always marveled at the flexibility of his right hand the way he held his instrument

[@MargotDarby]

I have this early recollection of him playing a number while people are sitting around a campfire. Maybe I just dreamed it. But he wrote about it in the autobio where he's bicycling past Westminster Palace on the cover. Used to turn up in The Oldie a lot.

Bella interpretación que la hace parecer fácil....!!!! El Maestro...!!!!

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

This displays Larry's dazzling technique. It's a kind of masterclass that could accompany is booklet "How I play Harmonica", which is still in print.

Malheureusement, je n'ai pas assez de temps pour partager tout ce que j'ai dans mes dossiers. Bonne soirée Patrice.

[@fandangodinaturezza9716]

Hermenegildo Mendes mais merci vraiment, je recherche tout ce que je peux sur ce bonhomme, parce que je ne comprends pas comment il assimilait si vite les morceaux. Un sacré bosseur oui. Merci

Köstlich - und natürlich Spitze! Grüsse, Roli

There are many fantastic harmonica players around today and have been throughout the years and with the likes of Tommy Reilly for example who was probably, technically a better player than Larry Adler, but it was the tone and richness of his interpretation that won through for me.The recording of the Genevieve Waltz will always epitomize the real sound of the chromatic harmonica and no player has ever been able,though many have tried,to replicate that sound.Jim.Liverpool.

[@HermenegildoMendes]

curleyteeth Both excellent, different techniques. What is the best? I don't know.

[@darrenhirst9900]

What harmonica did Mr Adler play? Thank you so much Harmonicando for this video. I love Mr Adler after hearing Genevieve at the pictures as a kid. Since then I've love listening to his music.

[@redgunnit]

Far as I've heard, he only played hohner chromonicas.

[@darrenhirst9900]

@@redgunnit Oh cool that's nice to know. Thanks for the reply.

Fantastic Player.. The classical harmonica sounds a thousand times better than all that funky Blues and Jazz... Sorry guys.. You cant compete with Larry Adler
