Clarinet Concert No. 5 is the latest in a series of issues devoted to legendary
Boston Symphony clarinetist
Harold Wright on the Boston Records label.
Wright, like most great classical clarinetists (outside of
Benny Goodman), did not get to make studio recordings in a number that seems appropriate given his exalted status. Boston Records has been making up the difference through seeking out recordings of
Wright in broadcast concerts, university recitals, and in other public situations where he appeared and his playing documented.
