Wow, that video is impressive. I played clarinet when I was in an orchestra decades ago and I was always jealous of the 1st Clarinet who got to play the Rhapsody in Blue intro. There are so many fun little things in there. I didn't think it was possible to simulate some of the techniques in MIDI.
Having done this, you could get a result that the vast majority of people would be unable to identify as synthesized.
In some places it will be necessary to do a bit of creative interpretation in order to accommodate for the limitations of your tools, for example, the clarinet trills at the beginning might need to be slowed down a bit. Nonetheless, a virtual instrument like SWAM Clarinets will get you there. These days, they're quite realistic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmsehqcjc9g
