Has anyone had any experience with these? I have the von Weber Concerto #1, which is OK except for a repeated section in the recording which isn't in the score.
Are there any publically available mp3's of MMO-type stuff out there?

Sony Classical has a small series of play-along CD/sheet music. However, the collection is pretty small, and the only clarinet-featured titles out are, I believe, the Mozart Kegelstadtt Trio and the Beethoven Wind Quintet.
The repeated section in the Weber that is not in the printed score is probably the Baermann Cadenza section (not written by Weber, but Baermann of course). An edition w/ this section included is available at [ As David pointed out below, the edition that was pointed to by this link is not legal; it is pointing to a copyrighted edition. The music of Weber is not under copyright, but editions (those that actually have editorial content, not just a copy of the manuscripts) may be under copyright. ]

The ABRSM (UK music examining board) publishes CDs to go with each of its grade exams. These include individual movements of the Brahms and Saint-Saens sonatas, piano reductions of the Mozart concerto movements in Bb as well as in A, and lots of lesser-known works. The CDs include performances with clarinet and piano, as well as the piano playing alone.
Their only drawback is that they tend to be at a pretty cracking pace. I wonder how many examination candidates play them that fast!
Lest anyone jump to the wrong conclusion, these CDs are not used in the exams, for which the candidate must provide a real live pianist.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

I'll just add, re MMO, that I got their version of the Brahms Clt. Quintet, Op. 114, and found that they'd done a sort of slap-dash recording using an A clarinet (as written), and then SPED IT UP so it would be marketable to people who could only play it on Bb. That strikes me as unconscionable, esp. since nowhere in their literature did they make it plain what they did. (I suppose if you like your Brahms 114 with a sort of J. Straussian lilt, this would be the version for you, but not many of us do, I'm afraid.)

The Carl Fischer CD Solo Series includes a CD with piano accompaniment, and their Web site shows Weber 1 available. I just received their Grand Duo Concertant this weekend and played through it a couple of times with the CD. Not a bad accompaniment.
