Subj: Quintets of Mozart and Brahms

Hello. I'm preparing a lecture next Spring covering the Clarinet
Quintets of Mozart (K. 581) and Brahms (Op. 115). I was interested
in anyone's thoughts about

* Good recordings (perhaps for comparisons)
* Key points clarinetists might like to see covered
* Any musicological or analytical texts

The lecture is generally open to the public, but this will be the only
topic, so I would assume some knowledge of or interest in music history
or clarinet music. But the general topic of the lecture should be more
"What are these pieces _about_?"

Thanks for your help.
