Of course you got recommendations for well-known classics (Brahms, Weber,
Mozart), but I'd like to recommend two discs with lesser known but still
occasionally hauntingly beautiful chamber music for clarinet.  One is a
compilation of the best from the French repertoire (Saent-Saens, Poulenc,
Messiaen, Roussel, Ravel, Debussy, Chausson, Francaix, Messager) played by
Eduard Brunner and Margarita Hoehenrieder (Calig CAL 50907).  The other is
what must amount to a complete recording of Busoni's clarinet works,
including the wonderful Suite for clarinet and string quartet K.176.
