First Chair Clarinet Solos: Orchestral Excerpts

Performed by Laurence Liberson clarinet Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn More excerpts from the symphonic repertoire displaying the clarinet's beauty. The player functions both as soloist and a member of the ensemble throughout this eclectic program. Any prospective first-chair clarinetist will find this training ground invaluable. Includes a high-quality printed music score for both B-flat and A clarinets and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel); then a second version in full stereo of the orchestral accompaniment minus the soloist.

Performed by Harold Wright clarinet Accompaniment: Harris Goldsmith piano This final album in the Laureate Series of Contest Solos for advanced clarinetists is a master class with Harold Wright of the Boston Symphony. Concentrating on movements from Brahms' first sonata and Weber's second concerto it is sure to prepare you for first chair!
