I am in a Clarinet Quintet at my college, and we are in search of some good quintet literature to purchase and perform. All five of us are extremely strong players. I'd really appreciate any suggestions - especially those that come from experience. We do NOT have a decent Alto Clarinet around, but have a very strong Eb player, if there are any quintets that call for them.
Also, if you know of any recordings of the quintets you mention, please share that as well.
Thank you!

The Budapest clarinet quintet has a great album out called Clarinet Evergreens. I'm not sure how to get the arrangments of the pieces that they played, but I would recommend buying a copy of the album because that might help you a little bit.

If you go to www.woodwind.org and do some clicking through various topcis (I believe under the section "Music, midi" or something like that, you'll find free pdf files of the mozart clarinet quintet, but transcribed for five clarinets instead of one clarinet and four stringed instruments. Pretty interesting and might be fun! Search around on there too. You might find more.

Try searching this board - I think there were some posts about literature a couple of years ago.

Not familiar with clarinet quintet stuff outside of clarinet and string quartets, but how about the Guisganderie solo with clarinet quartet accompaniment (I believe)?
You can go here...
http://www.luybenmusic.com/category.asp?section=2+and+more+Clarinets&category=MUSIC+for+FIVE+CLARINETS for clarinet quintets...
...or here...
http://www.luybenmusic.com/clcat.asp and type in Guisganderie to search.
Hope that helps.

I think the Budapest group is actually a quartet, not a quintet.
But what's the makeup of your group? I'm assuming 3 x Bb and 1 x bass?
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Diz, the Budapest group that recorded "Clarinet Evergreens" was a quintet (Bela Kovacs, Zsolt Szatmari, Pal Solyomi, Akos Acs and Lszlo Kraszna, with Bela Kovacs Jr. on percussion). I hear only one bass clarinet, but might be mistaken. The arrangements are excellent.

I dunno if this helps at all... but, we used to have a clarinet quintet (something of the sort) at my school... The guy who was in charge of it, got alot of stuff off of www.sibeliusmusic.com... You go there, search for clarinet quintet, and it gives you a bunch of stuff... Of course, you have to download the plugin in order to play it... Our clarinet quintet developed into a woodwind choir, because we kept adding instruments... Eventually, not many people came to rehearsals and everything fell apart, so it is now no longer....
