Does anyone know where to obtain a recording of "Clarinet on the Town" by Ralph Hermann? Thanks.

It is the title cut on a 1999 CD by Serge Dangain, LYSC006. (It has both the Templeton Pocket Size Sonatas, too.) I don't know whether it's still in print, but you have a starting place. Now, where do you find the sheet music?
Best regards,

re the first reply.... is Serge Dangain (who did a great recording of the two Weber Concertos, plus an interesting (if not flawless) recording of the Prem Rhap of Debussy) at all related to Guy Dangain..... elder brother by some chance? I've often looked out for info on him (Serge), but find he's not often mentioned anywhere. His Weber Two (2nd concerto) has some intonation problems but has the most awsome version of the Polaca (3rd mvt) that i've ever heard- a great version to play to students learning this work and worth getting the CD just for this mvt.

Don,
From the "liner" notes (perhaps you can compare if you have info on Guy):
"The frenchman was born in 1947. He was a pupil of Ulysse Delecluse in Paris where he got his prizes when he was seventeen. After being principal clarinet with the R.T.L. Orchestra, chamber player with teh Bell' Arte Ensemble in Stuttgart (they were highly praised by the reviews for their recording of the Max Reger quintet), he presently [as of 1999] teaches clarinet at the Conservatoire National of Metz."
Other information:
He has recorded something by Weber.
He is a native "of the north of France."
(These notes turn out to be virtually identical in content to the info given on him on an LP of Rhapsodies by D'Andre Patrick that I have.)
Regarding Guy Dangain (from the notes to Simax PS1016):
"... Guy Dangain was born in Sains en Gohelle (Pas de Calais), in the north of France on July 12, 1935. He studied first at the Conservatoire National in Lille, and then at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris, where he was awarded Premier Prix in both solo playing and chamber music. After he was finished with his education, he was appointed solo clarinetist in the Orchestre National de France."
I can't find any reference to a sib in any of the liner notes for either one. Their ages and location of birth suggest the possibility that they may be related but nothing conclusive.
If you are on the Klarinet listserve (I am not), you might try posting a question there. I'll bet someone can give you an answer.
Best regards,
jnk
