Bass Clarinet Recordings

I’ve recently been listening to some recordings that feature the bass clarinet heavily. So far these have all been Jazz records, most notably Eric Dolphy on various recordings and a few others. I really like the sound of the instrument with that deep woody tone.

Does anyone have any recommendations for other bass clarinet music, either Jazz or, particularly classical chamber music. In addition to the Dolphy, I have a Herbie Mann record that’s all BC, and some Stravinsky, but I can’t help but think there must be more compositions and/or recordings featuring this instrument. I’d love to hear anyone’s suggestions. Thanks!

The I-do-not-know-how-to-label-that-style jazz clarinetist Gianluigi Trovesi sometimes plays the bass clarinet to stunning effect.

And on a few of his albums, the great Klezmer/traditional/tango/classical clarinetist, maestro Giora Feidman uses it in one or two pieces. Besides, Feidman's recording 'The singing clarinet' gets my high recommendation, but you'll only find one or two bass clarinet sets on it.
