Subj: RE: Mendelssohn Clarinet Concerto, Op. 114 recording?
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 23:44:31 -0400

I have a recording of the Op.114 with the University of Michigan Symphony
Band (Dr. William D. Revelli conductin) performed in 1970. It is
unfortunate that they did it with two clarinets rather than a clarinet and
a basset horn, but it is a fun recording to hear. The performers are:
Dennis Zeisler and James Ogle
Please let me know via my email at
rgarrett@-----.edu
if you are interested in obtaining a copy of the recording.

Thanks!
