Subj: Re: [kl] Bb Clarinet part for Mozart clarinet quintet?
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 20:34:04 -0500

Ben,

I heard the Brahms Quintet w/M. Lurie and Muir S/Q the other day on the radio.
I thought it was totally elegant. I would like to get the recording. Can anyone
quickly tell me, Label, Cat. #, title, etc. I sure hope it is available as a
CD. Sorry for being such a lazy bum and not looking it up myself. If you feel
strongly about that and DON'T respond, I'll be forced to research it. Cheers to
all and a happy NEW YEAR.
