Early Clarinet Recordings (Updated 4/29/08)
This section is for those interested in early clarinet recordings. Here you will find a list of recordings in my possession made by various artists on cylinder and disc from about 1892 until 1949. This is by no means a complete list of material recorded during this time, but is representative of the kind of music that was recorded. Please see Acoustic Clarinet Recordings, a compact disc recording edited from cylinders and discs in this section. A second compact disc recording featuring additonal pieces from this list should be available soon.

Compact Disc Recordings (Updated 1/28/07)
Here you will find compact disc recordings for sale. These include recordings where I am involved as a performer and Acoustic Clarinet Recordings which I edited. This compact disc of recordings from cylinders and discs was transferred by Glenn Sage ( www.tinfoil.com ). A second compact disc recording of transferred clarinet recordings will be available soon.
