Michal -

Look in the recordings database and the compositions database here on Sneezy. There are several items.

Not listed is at least one work by Bottesini that has had several recordings. I got over a dozen hits with a Google search on:

clarinet "double bass" bottesini

Bottesini was a monster virtuoso on bass. His pieces call for impossible things for himself and many other instruments. There's a duet for violin and bass that's truly uproarious. I saw a performance by Aaron Rosand and Gary Karr where they lined up the music on a dozen stands and worked their way across, leaving themselves and the audience rolling on the floor. If you're feeling like a challenge, try transposing the violin part.

Best regards.

Bottesini's father was a clarinettist.
