Well, it's time I stopped "lurking" on the list also.....

The piece you have heard is called "The Victorian Kitchen Garden Suite" by=
Paul Reade, and is on a disc called "Emma Johnson : Encores" (ASV CD DCA=
800; released in 1992) The disc has 12 other tracks, including the likes of=
Flight of the Bumble Bee; Granados' Danza Espagnol; the Greshwin preludes -=
and other obvious "encore" items. The pianist is Julius Drake, and the=
harpist Skaila Kanga. Here in New Zealand the piece you refer to was also=
used as part of a graden show.......
I have another of Emma Johnson's discs released by the some company -=
"Pastoral: Emma Johnson plays British Clarinet Music" which has the works=
of Bax, Bliss, Vaughn Williams, Stanford and Ireland.
ASV has at least 10 other recordings of E.J - including the Finzi, Stanford,=
Crusell, Weber, Krommer, Spohr and Mozart concertos - (what of the=
"biggies" has she missed out?!!!) - in fact it appears she has recorded all=
of the main repetory with ASV
The discs shouldn't be difficult to get hold of - I managed to find them in=
New Zealand......!!!!!!

Good luck
