<<Does anyone have the David Shifrin recording of the Mozart concerto and
the Mozart clarinet quintet (the CD's cover has Shifrin holding two
clarinets)? How do you feel about the recording? I know that there are
tons of recordings of the Mozart out there. How does this one compare
to the rest? Naturally, we assume that all replies are no more than
personal opinions, but I would like to hear some opinions of this CD.
Thanks.

Yes, I have the Delos DDD recording of Shifrin. It is good. He does it on an
extended range clarinet. It used to be my favorite recording of it until I
heard another in about 1995 of ......Oh, I can't remember. I think it was one
of the players everyone was raving about at the time... I think he was from
Finland, but I really liked it. Shifrin has a nice cadenza, nice
interpretation and style, and a consistent sound.

Is my description of his playing "KLC" (Klarinet list correct)?
