Sean Osborn, Clarinet
Clarinetist Sean Osborn presents the first recordings of the complete collection of Etudes for clarinet by Cyrille Rose. Cyrille Rose was one of the most respected clarinet performers of the 19th century and from 1857 to 1891 he served as clarinetist at the Paris Opera. Renowned especially for his insistence on careful phrasing, Rose is remembered today for his series of clarinet etudes. This CD presents his best-known collection, the Thirty-Two Etudes. His goal was to develop control and good phrasing in the performer. They are in the keys of C, G, F, D, B-flat, A, E-flat, E, B, and D-flat Major, plus a, e, d, b, g and c minor. "Sean Osborn...is a player of such splendid flexibility and expressive range that he makes the pieces here seem like miniature masterpieces." (Gramophone)Clarinetist Sean Osborn spent eleven years with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. He has also appeared as guest principal clarinet with the New York Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, Seattle Symphony and the American Symphony Orchestra.
Robert Spring, Clarinet
Called the "Heifetz of the clarinet" for his double tonguing, circular breathing and extreme high range, clarinetist extraordinaire Robert Spring presents a recording unlike you've ever heard. On this unparalleled CD of historical pieces that were performed and/or recorded by the great Jascha Heifetz, Spring creates many of his own fingerings to expand his extremely high technical range. INCOMPARABLE!!!
Robert Spring, clarinet

Andrew Simon, Clarinet
Currently Principal Clarinetist of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orcherstra, Andrew Simon expertly performs a varied collection of enjoyable clarinet classics. The New York Times says, "Simon plays brilliantly and with character, spirit and humor…" Like the title says, it's HOT!
The Chicago Chamber Musicians
Larry Combs, Clarinet, Bradley Opland, double bass and Deborah Sobol, piano perform classic clarinet repertoire by legendary American composers Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland and George Gershwin plus a unique and seldom performed jazz-like gem by Morton Gould written especially for Benny Goodman.
A new CD by Clarinet magician Robert Spring featuring four extended contemporary works that showcase Spring's incomparable talents. Expertly accompanied by Wind and String Ensembles from Arizona State University. Robert Spring at his best!
Soloist: Jonathan Cohler, Clarinet
Features unaccompanied works performed to perfection by a real master of the clarinet. Other factors making this a "must have" CD for all serious clarinet and teachers is the recorded sound, which is reference quality, and Cohler's informative program notes. Paganini's Moto Perpetuo alone is worth the price of the whole CD. Incredible from start to finish!
The Kalamos Clarinet Quartet
A unique and enjoyable CD of quartets featuring James Hefferman, Steven Hearn and Pamela Helton on Bb Clarinets and Jean Gould on Bass Clarinet. Fine recordings of great performances of unique and enjoyable music make this a wonderful model for all budding clarinetists. First rate!
