On this episode of Concerts Plus, host Robert Sherman and guests explore the repertoire of the clarinet in a program of live music and conversation. Martin Bookspan hosts the intermission feature.

This program was broadcast live before a studio audience in the WQXR Concert Theater.

Note: This recording contains an additional thirty-five minutes of performances and conversation which were never broadcast.


From host Robert Sherman's notes:

For our grand finale, the tonal spotlight falls on a rather more familiar instrument, but it will be both jazz and classical clarinet, and not surprisingly, there'll be a few surprises along the way.
