There is a version of the concerto by Julian Bliss which I found rushed too, especially the 3rd movement.

On the other hand, it is so hard to present this piece to an audience of clarinet players without being called boring or out of style.

I found Frost to have some interesting ideas I had not heard played before, and that is more than I can say for many other performances.

On the other hand, I studied this listening to Wright and Marcellus's recordings and these appeal to me most, even though they have fallen out of fashion after the revival of the basset clarinet and the more academic view of playing classical period pieces. I don't think I have found the performance which gives my tainted ears the best compromise between my reference recordings and the period instrument recording of Tony Pay. Shifrin's would have been a prime candidate if he had done a little improvising.
