OK. I apologize in advance for any misinformation but
I am at work, so I can't be quite sure of all the
specifics. Here is my 2 cents in no particular
order:

1. Robert Marcellus, Mozart Clarinet Concerto.
Cleveland Symphony Orchestra? CBS Masterworks. While
this is an Analog to Digital recording, the playing is
something to behold.

2. Harold Wright, Brahms Clarinet Quintets? Philips.
Recorded recently before his passing. Amazing sound.

3. Sabine Meyer-various recordings (ie A Night at the
Opera - EMI Classical)

4. Martin Powell - Son et Lumiere. Excellent.

5. John Bruce Yeh - Ebony Concerto?. Fantastic.
Clarinet Concerto by Artie Shaw is awesome.

6. Various Artists on the Naxos Label (I've forgotten
the names) for a nice $$$ price.

7. Stanley Drucker-various

8. Larry Combs-various

9. Eddie Daniels-various. Great modern jazz
clarinetist. GRP label

10. Richard Stoltzman-various. BMG label.
