Re: Recordings of Great Clarinet Players

In addition to those already recommended:

The Clarinet Classics historical volumes, which present the unique tones and styles of the great players of the past, including Louis Cahuzac, Frederick Thurston, David Weber, Charles Draper, Gaston Hamelin and Reginald Kell http://www.clarinetclassics.com/history.htm

Boston Records has put out 5 wonderful Harold Wright CDs. Only vol. 1-4 appear on their site, http://www.bostonrecords.com/clarinet.htm, but vol. 5 has recently appeared, which includes amazing live recordings from concerts in the 1970s at the Library of Congress and his famous Mozart Concerto.

Boston Skyline Records put out Reginald Kell's 1950s recordings with the Fine Arts Quartet of the Mozart Quintet and the Brahms Quintet, http://www.bostonskylinerecords.com/catalog.html#135>. I've read that the company went out of business after a recent New York court ruling against Naxos, but their site is still up, so the CD may be available.

Two eastern European players, Bela Kovacs and Kalman Berkes, are my special favorites. They have a number of CDs on Naxos.
