Does anyone know the recordings of Mozart's or Weber's concertos, which include special eingangs/cadenzas (I hope rather long one)?
I already have Kriikku's, S.Mayer's(1999) and Neidich's of Mozart, and Isobe's (by Busoni) of Weber's 1st, Kriikku's 1st, 2nd and Concertino.
Thanks very much.

See Colin Lawson's book on the Mozart Concerto http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Clarinet-Concerto-Cambridge-Handbooks/dp/0521479290/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335998881&sr=1-2, which includes many cadenzas, especially a long and bizarre one by Ibert.
This material is either the same as or an expansion of earlier articles in The Clarinet.
At least in my opinion, there's no harmonically appropriate spot for insertion of cadenzas (as opposed to eingangs) in the Mozart or Weber Concertos, and the big ones, such as Neidich's, become the tail (or the hair at the tip of the tail) wagging the dog.
It's barely possible to create a cadenza in the appropriate place that is widely different in style from the concerto - for example, Schnittke's cadenza for the Beethoven Violin Concerto, which Gidon Kremer plays on his (in)famous recording http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wI3vWdLCIw - but even there, it goes so far outside the harmonic and emotional world of the concerto that it becomes a different work from the original.

Well there are several recordings that I have heard of Weber 1 with unique cadenzas. The Martin Frost and David Shifrin recordings have a very unique cadenza added to the first movement of Weber 1.
an even more unique cadenza in the first movement of Weber 1 is Carl Heinz Steffens, which can be found on youtube!
