You should consider a few works by Carl Maria von Weber - his two Concertos
for Clarinet and Orchestra (Op.  73 and 74) and a Concertino (Op.  26).
Brahms also got a Clarinet Trio (Op.  114) and sonatas for the same
instrument (Op.  120).  Mozart has written a Trio for Clarinet, Viola and
Piano ("Kegelstatt", KV 498) and a few Quartets (K 317d, 496 and 374f)
which are very interesting.

Francis Poulenc has a Sonata for Clarinet and Piano which is just
beautiful.  Claude Debussy and other French composers like Saint-Saens,
Milhaud and Honegger have also written really enjoyable music for this
instrument.

I don't really have any recordings I would like to recommend, but perhaps
someone else on the list will?

Good luck!
