Emma Thompson was really great in "Dead Again" and "Much Ado About Nothing," too! When does she find time to practice, I wonder?

I have Emma Thompson's recording of the Weber, and while she takes some
liberites (which didn't particullary please me) she does an overall
fantastic job. I'm particularly interested in the First and Third
Movements of Weber 1, though 2 is beautiful as well.

Weber seems to have a real feel for the clarinet, and his orchestrations
for the strings and supporting winds are wonderfully done! It's some
really great stuff!
