Surely a ravishing CD is in prospect here...

Ooooh! Many thanks, Alan. One to be pursued with considerable interest.
Oh, I like this. Two composers I like a lot, and I've seen the Strässer quintet though not yet heard it. Thanks!
Ah, a potential gem. I met Stephan Siegentahler a couple of years ago and he is absolutely committed to expanding the recorded romantic clarinet repertoire.

Great! Maybe he can do the Rietz concerto!
Here's Stephan's website (http://www.clarinetclassics.ch/pages/intro.php) if you'd like to ask him direct.
The Rietz concerto has been recorded, though not very often and a new recording would be a good idea (I seem to recall having heard it).
(There are clarinet quintets by Krehl (in A, pub.1902, republished 1997) and Täglichsbeck (in B♭, pub.1863) that look interesting... Krehl's string quartet sounds good enough that I'd like to hear the quintet (actually, now that I look, there does seem to have been a recording of it on K617- "Les deux quintettes avec clarinette dédiés à Richard Mühlfeld"- oh. Erm. Never mind, then...)
