Hello,
I'm working on the Bozza Clarinet Concerto but I cannot seem to find a recording of the piece anywhere! Does anybody know of any recordings, or has anyone played and recorded this piece themselves?
Thanks so much,
Katie (Miami, Fl)

I have a recording of the 3rd movement with Elsa Verdehr playing it live at a music conference at the University of Michigan. She performs with my high school band an arrangement I wrote in 1981. I could easily send you a CD of this if I know where to send it.

David--Why don't you do arrangements for the first two mvts and complete your project?? I, for one (& maybe, the only), would be interested.

I wrote this as a way for me to keep performing and learning new solos I hadn't studied in college in 1973. (I have a masters in ww performance from Michigan State University '71.) I was playing in the Genesee Valley Wind Ensemble in Flint, Michigan at the time so this gave me an outlet to perform a solo. I think I finshed arranging the 2nd movement but it seemed the 3rd alone was long enough for a solo. I have no idea where the 2nd mvt arrangement is anymore. (I'm not even sure I finished it.)
The summer of '73, I lost my middle finger of my LH due to the mast of a sailboat hitting an overhead wire. That ended any thought of performing solos like the Bozza.
I do perform still but I must pick carefully and often need to change a few notes. I just retired from teaching band and orchestra in Greenville Michigan and I re-discovered my passion for practicing and serious playing. I just put on a joint recital with my niece and former student a couple of weeks ago. If interested, you can check it out at http://web.mac.com/kjhudson

Hi Katie,
If you do a search of Amazon or Cd Connection or other similar sites, you should look for a CD titled "French Chamber Music With Clarinet." I believe it is one example of what you are seeking. Hope that helps!

I don't think that the Bozza Clarinet Concerto would be on a disc of chamber music. ![[wink]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie3.gif)
The only recording that I've ever come across (but do not own) of the Bozza Clarinet Concerto was by Dimitri Ashkenazy, with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jonathan Nott (Pan 510107).
Unfortunately it is not available on any of the on-line sites I've checked...GBK

Check Colin Bradbury's discography; he may have recorded solo with piano. I'd have to dig it up but I used to have a cassette recording (all 3 mvts.) of clarinetist Porter Eidam (Harrisburg Symphony; wife on piano) and 2nd mvt. (1991 audition tape) of myself playing the piece.
Another difficult Bozza finger-buster for the masses to play "convincing well;" a possible cause of the sparse recording pool. I'll never understand why the chart wasn't more popular among the classical elite; substantively, and as a show piece I always felt it smoked Bucolique. v/r Ken

I have it on an LP, Coronet LPS 3027, played (with piano) with Rolf Legbandt. He was a monster player who taught at Ball State (now retired). If you can find it, it has the best Poulenc Sonata ever, plus amazing versions of the Widor Introduction and Rondo and the Jeanjean Variations on Au Claire de la Lune.

BG,
GBK is right; the Bozza concerto is not on the French Chmaber music CD (a very nice CD by the way).
It also not on the only CD I found dedicated exclusively to Bozza: Rhapsodie Nicoise issued by HUNGAROTON.
