I found another CD entitled "Great Vivaldi Wind Concertos" by the
Scottish Chamber Orch. cond. Jaime Laredo.
It includes the Concerto in C (RV 560) for 2 ob. 2 Clt. and strings.
It also contains a sleeve booklet by Michael Talbot which says that
Vivaldi was the first Italian composer known to have written for
clarinet, both in his 1716 oratorio "Juditha Triumphans" and in
three orchestral concerti. The record is IMP - PCD811 manufactured in
West Germany if you want to try and trace it.
