For something either truly exciting or truly frightening (depending on how
you make your living):

http://www.garritan.com/

Demos at:

http://www.garritan.com/mp3.html

(I am particularly impressed by the Magic Flute Overture excerpt)

and, to be clarinet specific, you can check out the individual sounds of
the orchestra at:

http://www.garritan.com/audition/

If you have the CPU power and disk space to handle it, I don't think
anything at Guitar Center can touch the price/performance ratio of Garritan.
