The Robert Marcellus recording of the Mozart Concerto has recently passed the 40 year mark as one of the truly modern benchmark clarinet recordings. Since the initial recording in mid October of 1961, it has remained a staple in the catalogues, and each new generation of clarinetists rediscovers this amazing performance.
If Robert Marcellus, his life, his teaching style, etc... intrigues you, then perhaps you might find the James Gholson interview with him (shortly before his death) most informative:

In addition, the Clarinet magazine published Dennis Nygren's fascinating and very revealing interview with Marcellus in the Nov/Dec 1988 edition.
The legacy left behind by Robert Marcellus - his recordings, his performances, his students, his philosophy of clarinet sound, and his teaching techniques has had an immeasurable effect on the last 50 years of clarinet history...GBK
