Just came across this one (it's new). It's Sony Records entry into the online distribution and has over 600 Clarinet tracks on it for 99 cents a track.
Just got Sabine Meyer's Mozart Concerto for $3!!
Type Clarinet into the search engine and then expand the tracks.
Itunes doesn't have much Clarinet on it at all.
Clarinet Evergreens has the Budapest Clarinet Quartet playing the Flight of the Bumblebee
Tons and tons of Stoltzman, Meyer, and others.

I notice Meyer is playing the 297b Concertante that was rearranged to include clarinet.

Yup. I noticed that it is basically all of the Naxos Catalog and lots of the BMG, Sony, and some other non american labels.
I would think that the artists get more $$ from it than selling a hardcopy CD as typically the profit %'s for sites like that (the legit ones of course!) are much better than selling a hardcopy.

I will mention again that for $20 a year, one can subscribe to the Naxos website and stream (in good quality audio, IMO) pretty much their entire music catalog. In addition to the Naxos recordings, they also have extensive lists from several other labels, including Marco Polo, Da Capo and (a recent addition) BIS (over a thousand recordings from this label alone, including most, if not all of Martin Frost's).
Have you heard performances of the clarinet concertos by Hartke, Welcher, Holmboe, Milhaud, or Hindemith? The Larsson concertino? They're all there.
Best regards,
jnk

The website requires Internet Explorer. Why do some web sites do this?! Some people prefer to USE their web browsers, not constantly patch and fix them.

If you happen to use FireFox, get the Agent Switcher extension which let you pretend to be IE. Site worked for me that way.

Because IE is the "masses" gold standard (unfortunately!)

Please don't start a "browser war" here - there's plenty of sites dedicated to just that subject.
It is what it is ...

I was going to mention Naxos here but decided not to. Excellent site.
For free you can listen to %25 of nearly all thier CDs songs.
You can decide if the CD is worth buying.
I prefer CDs to Downloaded music. You will pay 99 cents a song for at most 320 kbps, While a CD is a around 1400 kbps. A much better sound quality for the money.
I actually prefer vinyl over CDs, there are incredibe amounts of good stuff at thrift stores. An stupidly expensive and well setup vinyl system actually sounds better than CDs.

Most of the music that I listen to (if I'm not performing it, or teaching it) is when working out at teh gym, or driving.
128K is barely acceptable, 192k is much better and at 320k there isn't anyone here who can hear the difference I'd wager. Even at 256k it would be pretty inperceptable.
My own PreAmp days are long over

Just came across this site which has many recordings that I haven't seen elsewhere. It's a European site, but there is an english version:
http://www.musicabona.com/catalog/RG0022-2.html.de is just one of the pages - to the left Klarinette for Clarinetists and Blas for the Wind Quintets.
Lots of 30 sec preview clips on that site.
(I have no affiliation with that site at all - good stuff though!)
