For what it's worth, the clarinet section on EWE's 1958 recording of Mozart's Gran Partita (Serenade #10, K. 361) is:
Clarinets: Robert Gauldin & Elsa Ludewig
Basset Horns: Rolf Legband & Eugene Zoro
Contrabass Clarinet: James Badolato
Fennell used Contrabass Clarinet, Contrabassoon and Contrabass as he felt appropriate in the piece.
The Basset Horns were LeBlancs (ie: wide bore - they sound great). The photo of the basset horn on the cover is either backward, or it's a rare left-handed basset horn (:))
Above info from the liner notes to the CD (Mercury 289 434 399-2), which also contains the Strauss Serenade in Eb and Milhaud Suite Francaise, but performers are not identified for these. The liner notes, in turn, are excerpts from Fennell's book "Time and the Winds," G. Leblanc Co.
