Guilhand -- I've never run across this one.
Dunhill -- Johannesson, Jenkins Chandos 9079
Carpenter, McArthur Herald HAVPCD 152
West, Grace Klavier KCD-11076
The Johannesson may still be "in print." The West may be in stock at some record stores. I think it only recently went out of print. It may also be available directly from Charles West. I think he was a member of the Klarinet list at one time and I know he has been willing to sell his recordings directly in the past. Search the Klarinet archives on "Charles West" without the quotes and you may find an e-mail address for him.
Finzi -- There have been a number of recordings of this work, including a recording of the Ashmore version for clarinet and string orchestra by Stoltzman on RCA (now apparently out-of-print but occasionally turns up on eBay -- worth having for the recording of the Concerto).
Search Amazon.com or Cdnow.com on Finzi for current availabilities. According to Schwann, the following are in print:
Emma Johnson ASV 767
Gervase de Peyer Chandos 8549
Shands RTOP 116
Also,
Robert Plane Naxos (Ashmore version w/ strings)
should be in print.
Hindemith -- Too many recordings of this one to list. The current Scwann lists six (including Henri Bok performing it on bass clarinet). Two worth trying to find that aren't listed in Schwann:
Sabine Meyer EMI
Karl Leister Camerata 30320
The Leister may still be available from Amazon.com
Avoid (IMHO as a general principle) John Russo on CRS.
Best regards,
jnk

I just ran across a recording of the Guilaud, Premier Concertino. It is on an old LP that was listed on eBay (already sold ;^( ). The title is "Clarinet Contest Music...a program of graded solos." The clarinetist is Donald E McGinnis from Ohio State. The recording is perhaps notable in that he used a professional Selmer instrument on one side of the recording and a resonite Bundy clarinet on the other. From what I've heard very few listeners could tell which was which without a program. The seller didn't say what the record label or number was but the label was probably Coronet. This one will likely be difficult to find but you never know.
Best regards,
jnk

Jack...I actually own the recording you are referring to with Donald Mcginnis. It was given to me by a former band director in neighboring high school who happened to be cleaning out some old vinyl recordings to make room from some new CD's. It is on Marbeck Records #XCTV-63137. I have a feeling it may have been issued by Selmer as a promotional record to highlight the Selmer clarinet and the Bundy resonite clarinet.
The disc contains the Guilhaud (First Concertino) -played on a Bundy clarinet! Also among the 13 selections are the Rabaud (Solo de Concours) and the Jeanjean (Arabesques).
Needless to say, McGinnis plays superbly - whether on a Bundy or a Semer clarinet...GBK
