I'm in the process of choosing a solo, and would like to find a few recordings...
I'm looking for Poulenc, Malcolm Arnold, and Weber.
Also, does anyone have any sheet music to Blue Shades by Ticheli?
thanks for the help!

"Skip the Poulenc, we don't want to encourage it."
What do you mean, this is a fantastic sonata, that every clarinet player should know, and those who can, should play.
This is MY opinion, but don't think I'm a lonesome Cowboy?
or did I miss something ?
And indeed try listening to Walter Boeykens he's our national clarinet pride (getting a bit older, but .. what I clarinet player he was/is)

Sorry, BelgianClarinet,
but I just don't get the Polenc.
I just listened to the McGill performance referenced on this site. Its "not bad." But, the Duo Sonata for A and Bb clarinets just sucks. I got a copy from eBay, and a colleague and I tried it out. We decided to spend our effort on some of the wonderful Langenus transcriptions of Beethoven and Mozart,Playel, ...

Bob,
I don't really know the duo sonata (just found an excerp on the web, and didn't really dislike it, but I'll try to find a complete recording and a full opinion)
I was refering to the Sonata, clarinet and piano, composed in 1962 - a fantastic year :-)
I think this was the piece (solo) mentioned in the first post.
By the way, for you Americans, the Bernstein in nice too.
And ever tried Martinu ?, I'm currently playing it (well, allmost) on Bass clarinet.
Peter
PS. Found the McGill performance you've mentioned. To be honest, I find his tempo is too fast, this 'hears' to me as 'show off' time,kind of 'listen how fast I can play this'.

Bob,
The Sonata for clarinet and piano is a great piece to practice and perform as BelgianClarinet mentioned. I think that the Master class cd of Walter is one of the best clarinet cd's in my possession. I really think that Belgium is to small for a player like him and I’m glad that everybody can listen to his music on cd over the whole world.

Opus II,
we don't mind keeping him here :-)
It must be said however that Walter Boeykens is getting a bit older and suffering from a bad health, but never the less he definately earned his place amongst the best.
Next time in record shop I'll try to get my hands on this CD, seems to be a 'must have' for us Clarinet addicts ...

Indeed, nice site, been there before. (Also the Martinu is there) the quality of the recording is not always perfect.
But this kind of site really allows me to explore and 'hear' around. At the end I always end up buying a full and official CD of the things I like.
So a mp3 here and there not always arms the 'business' and the artists.

I love the Poulenc ! It's very dramatic, captivating to listen to (especially the slow movement). My favorite recording is Karl Leister - the Debussy on the same recording ("French Music for Clarinet") is worth listening to as well. There were clips up on Amazon.com when I bought it a while back, but they are not there anymore.
Why do I prefer a German clarinetist playing French clarinet music? I don't think most of the other recordings I've heard really catch the drama or do much with the music ... makes me wonder how Poulenc expected it to sound?
The Arnold is fun too, I did that on my senior recital a gazillion years ago. But the Poulenc, to me, is a more complete and rewarding piece both to play and to listen to.

There is a good recording of the Arnold Sonatina Op. 29 - just listening to it now - Gary Gray playing (the CD title seems to be "Arnold-Bernstein-Debussy-Martinu-Poulenc-Saint Saens"), on Centaur label. I like Leister's better on the Poulenc (and Debussy) but this would be a good CD to get to hear both.
