Hi Greg:
I have this LP - It is on a London ffrr release #LS 987 with Ulysse
Delecluse playing clarinet and Jacques Delecluse playing the piano. They
are indeed "demonstrating the Selmer Clarinet. On the front side is the
Meister Erwin fantaisie, AND the Cahuzac Variation sur un air du pays d'Oc.
On the reverse side is the Messager Solo and the Widor Introduction et
Rondo. I had considerable difficulty obtaining this record. I finally
found it in a used record shop. You just brought up a point about the
record that I didn't realize- it's VOLUME 1! Do you (or anybody on the
list) know of the other three volumes, and their contents? There might be
some interesting recordings there!
