Dan,

Did you ever record any of his works that you performed? Basset horn OR
clarinet?
The piece that sounds especially interesting to me is "In the Garden of
My Father's House". I have never heard any of Mr. Kupferman's works
before and I feel I have missed an incredible composer, and am poorer
musically because of it.

Also, are recordings of his works on CD available anywhere? (I do have
an LP turntable, but I am not sure it is any longer functional, sadly.)
It seems that finding recordings of anything these days is nearly
impossible past the usual stuff on NPR. :(
