I have a similar one with Stolzman, though mine contains Stravinsky,
Bernstein, and Corrigalio (I am guessing, and I don't know how to spell
the man's name anyway). I was impressed with it, though it does take
some liberty, I found most of it to be musical -- though that is another
issue within itself.

I have, thanks to other members of the list, gotten more recordings of
the Copland, and it is interesting how Stolzman, being the first
recording I heard, really influenced the way I looked at the piece.
Hearing a whole bunch of different people gave me a fresh perspective,
one that I definitely needed.

In any event, I have gotten a little off the subject, but I didn't want
to mention I also had the Stolzman, though it is on a different CD,
whose title (incidently) is The Essential Clarinet.
