My favourite is definitely the Op. 35. It sounds much more fun, and is
better composed, with the two solo parts brilliantly interwoven.

But you can listen for yourself. A number of recordings are available,
including an inexpensive one on the Naxos label (catalog # 8.553178), with
both double concertos as well as the Op. 36 single clarinet concerto.

Also, the Op. 35 can be found in MIDI as well as printable format on
Oliver Seely's web site, http://www.sneezy.org/clarinet/Music/Seely.html.
