There may be one with the Baltimore Symphony (I am not sure) but otherwise I
know of only one - Pictures at an Exhibition with the Chicago Symphony and
Rafael Kubelik (who died last week, btw). This was Kubelik's first recording
with the CSO, and Clark Brody was brought in fairly soon after this recording
was made. Obviously, there is not much audible clarinet in this piece and, in
any case, this Mercury recording is long out of print.

There is a "legendary" tape of Gennusa's playing made by a friend or student,
but I haven't heard it, even though he once promised to send me a copy and
Marcellus (who admired Gennusa's playing very much) never got around to
lending me the copy he claimed to have. Sorry.
