Comments         : Bass clarinet. I urge everyone who has an interest in the possibilities the bass clarinet holds as an instrument to buy the disc. Showing this kind of interest will allow other, similar discs to be made in the future. It will also permit you to hear some astounding virtuosity on the instrument.  If your local record store is unwilling to order the disc, try the Tower Records hotline at 1-800-ask-tower or call New World Records directly at 212- 302-0460.  I won't bother to describe the works on the disc now, except to say that they run the gamut stylistically and are most engaging. All of the works are either by Lowenstern himself or were comissioned by him. David Hattner, thehat@afm.org
