Who would you commission?

I was listening to the Overture to the School for Scandal today (and recently to his sublime Violin Concerto) and had a moment of profound disappointment that Samuel Barber never wrote anything for clarinet. I recently had a conversation with someone about the fragments for the clarinet concerto of Benjamin Britten (that was, to one degree or another, finished in the past number of years) with a similar sentiment.

Thus I pose to this board...is there any currently living composer whom you wish would write a concerto for clarinet that presently has not?

I'd contribute Arvo Pärt. His music is emotional, often minimalistic, but still evocative.
