Reginald Kell, Josepf Holbrooke clarinet quintet in G, op. 27. Alternatively, the early Weber recordings of DePeyer.
Sorry if this is an old/hackneyed thread. Just curious.
Bill.

Hmmm....
Fav would be the first song on Paquito D'Rivera's cd titled "The Clarinetist - Vol. 1" (the song is "Serenade")
Most inspiring would be Stanley Drucker playing the second movement of the Poulenc Sonata (Romanza) with piano (don't know who's at the keys). When I first heard this, I was literally surprised at how much it moved me because it just seemed so lyrical and beautiful. I've overplayed it WAY too much since then, but it STILL sounds unbelievably beautiful and I hope to one day be able to play it and do it justice.

Jon Manasse has lit a fire under me like no other clarinetist I've ever heard, including Marcellus. I'd give a lot to take a ride in Doc Brown's DeLorean and hear his Weber 2 recording again for the first time.

The CD Double Trio - Green Dolphy Suite did it for me. In my opinion it's probably the best CD made in the last 10 years (I say probably, since I can't say I've heard every CD made in the last 10 years).
The compositions are beautiful and unique, the players are very original and some of the best in the world. I listened to it probably more than a hundred times since I bought it about six months ago.
If I could take only one CD, that would be it.

In no particular order:
Sabine Meyer's recording of K622.
Kenny Davern and the Rhythm Men (that was the name of the group; can't actually remember the CD title).
Don Byron's Bug Music ![[grin]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie5.gif)

Every time I hear Karl Heinz Steffens play, that is the most inspiring playing. His recordings Blue Rondo, Lsh LIfe, and the Mozart duets rank as my favorite recordings.

Get the Vic Dickenson albums "Essential" and "Nice Work" to hear Edmond Hall play absolutely beautiful, swinging lines and solos all over these albums. It doesn't hurt that these albums were one of the first and only swing albums that featured extended versions of some very intricate, yet gorgeous songs. The very essence of jazz, indeed.
For some great fun, get "Ambassador Satch" and hear Edmond support the great Louis Armstrong and solo better than any reed player who ever played with Louis (all respect to Johnny Dodds, Sidney Bechet and Barney Bigard)
You are losing out if you do not check out two great albums by Paulo Moura playing in the brazilian Choro tradition: "Dois Irmaos" and "Pixinguinha", simply insinuatingly beautiful and spirited. Moura has perhaps the deepest, darkest, broadest clarinet tone of.......anybody.

I like Stoltzman recording of the Brahms Sonatas. I have many recordings of this piece and most I find unsatisfactory from an expressive standpoint. Stoltzman's is alive and exciting and really "hits the spot" after hearing so many other dull renditions. Stoltzman's Copland and Corigliano Concerti are also very inspirational to me (for the same reasons).
Other great recordings for me including:
-Sabine Meyer's Weber Concerti
-DePeyer's Mozart/Brahms Quintets
-Victoria Soames "Solo de Concours"
-Anything by Thea King (she tends to record a lot of British music, which I happen to really like)
-Brunner's Prokofiev Sonata (just because I love the piece)
