Yikes---what a beautiful but difficult part! Any hints re approaching/performing this piece? Any suggested recordings or clarinetists who have performed it? Thanks!

wjk,
I recommand you listen to the Montreal Symphony recordings under Dutoit.
Simply breath taking.

This is a gorgeous solo, among my favorites! I kept this in mind when working on it. Although difficult and technical, my intention was to perform it beautifully in the end, the judges not noticing my technique at all, it should just be 'there'.
Keep the music in mind!

Many (including myself) feel that the best modern recording is the version by Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. All the principals (as well as the entire orchestra) capture just the right feeling.
The old Dorati/Philharmonia Hungarica version on Mercury Living Presence, which has now been reissued on cd, is excellent. However there is a very sloppy tape edit which, of all places, is right after the first trill of the opening clarinet cadenza (perhaps the clarinetist needed more than one attempt at the cadenza?). This happens about 1'35" into the piece. Aside from that one engineering gaffe the rest of the performance is first rate...GBK

wjk......
again, I suggest Hadcock's book, THE WORKING CLARINETIST !!!!
Mr. Hadcock devotes several pages to the clarinet part
have a good, free blowing 'A' for at times, the solos are you alone with great cadenzas !!!
