If you like Crusell there is a new tremendeous recording of the
clarinetconcertos on NAXOS.  Per Billman (clarinet), Uppsala Chamber
Orchestra/Gerhard Korsten.  Have you tried Crusells songs? The songs are
not so wellknown today, but they were in his life time considered better
than even the concertos.
