I have forgotten 2 composers who wrote for clarinet (among other Wind ctos):the italian S.Mercadante(1795-1870),see Orfeo C114041A or Clarinet Classics CC042 and above him, the finnish (of german descent) : Bernhard Henrik Crusell (1775-1838)

Yes, the 3 concertos are recorded and available as 3 separate cds on stephanelmas .org/boutique

Unfortunately for him: Austrian Carl Filtsch (1830-45 !!), a pupil of Wieck and Chopin (a precocious one, indeed) wrote an overture and a short piano concerto (see CD-Accord ACD 177-2 released in 2010 "Chopin's pupils,with Thomas Tellefsen piano cto op.

an alter ego neglected to Lortzing and Nicolaï,a newecording of his overtures is issued by Naxos recently

in the romantic era (gradually losing interest at clarinet,to great benefit of saxophone,but concertos...)apart Stanford and the italian L.Perosi,trythe saxon Robert Starck (1847-1922,discovered thgough Unsung Composers,Paladino MusicPMR0064)or the belgian Charles-Louis Hanssens (1802-71,Phaedra92094) ;also Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900,czech):Selanka/idyll for clar & orch. op.16 (various vesions)

at least the piano version of 2 mazuirkas have been recorded by J.Plowright for Hyperion cd "hommage à Chopin"

dubrovsky is available as a russian live from 1960 on Aquarius AQVR 366-2 (found at Norbert,Peters & Ford,online shop devoted to opera and archive recordings)

Krommer first,then Stamitz in the classical period (or end of it).both  late eduard Brunner and Dieter Klöcker had been tireless land-clearer of clarinet repertoire

It was just an aural feeling, hard to define !

one recording of both his Symphonie in d and piano cto in A (Koch-Schwann 3-1539-2H1 in 1994,Ewa Kupiec, Lorraine PO)

the slow movement of the Bache concerto (Hypérion RPC)is the most stirring one between Mozart 23d and Shosta 2nd !

Again (quite a litany !):Hypérion did it (with the Balakirev two) and Chandos too, a work illustrating his fame as master of orchestral colours.

this ancestor of Harry (!!)also wrote  a symphony (recorded by Unicorn-Kanchana in the 1990')Maybe hope some victorian concertos like Benedict or Bache (also that very dear Hypérion Records !)

Is there some family link with Wladislaw Krogulski (octet for piano &... released recently on cd by NIFC)?

one of my favourite discoveries of the past years is to be found among the magnificent series by §Hypérion "romantic piano concertos", ie the vol.43 containing the most stirring low movement from a piano concerto somewhere between Mozart 23d and Shostakovitch 2nd !
The composer (English) is forgotten : Francis Edward Bache (1833-58)( ref CDA67595),see also piano solo works on a Dutton Epoch cd
2  idea : french romantic symphonies by M. Gouvy (Louis Théodore,1819-98) or Mrs Louise Farrenc (1804-75),if you know and like the ones by St-Saens,Bizet or rarer,Gounod
