He wrote all his clarinet works after his retirement, the clarinetist Mühlfeld inspired him so much by his beautiful playing that Brahms got out from being at ease and wrote a clarinet trio in a minor, 2 clarinet sonatas and the clarinet quintet. These clarinet works are beautiful.
Max Bruch a contemporary of Brahms wrote 8 pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Cello that I highly recommend along with the clarinet pieces by Brahms. Mozart also wrote some clarinet works that are the standard and the beginning of all subsequent clarinet works. Mozart is also highly recommend to see the beginning and the initial serious writing for the clarinet.

I've developed an interest in the clarinet recently, and this is helpful to know.

Andrew I have the following cds in my collection and I highly recommend them.
This is Bruch. This cd has all of Bruch's works for the Clarinet and a very cheap price.  Amazon.com: Bruch: Works for Clarinet & Viola:...
The following I would only recommend for the Brahms Trio, this group of great musicians severely butchered the Beethoven Trio and the Mozart Trio but they played the Brahms excellently. Amazon.com: Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart: Trios for...
The Beaux Arts Trio have the best recording of the Mozart Clarinet Trio. It can be found on this double cd that also has all of Mozart's piano trios. Amazon.com: Mozart: The Complete Piano Trios:...
The best clarinet quintet recording of Mozart is this cheap gem from Naxos. Amazon.com: Mozart: Clarinet Quintet, K. 581;...
The following is the best rendition of Brahms Clarinet QUintet that I've heard. Amazon.com: Brahms: String Quintet in F major,...
ps. My recording of Mozart's clarinet concerto is on the now defunct excelsior label.

Here is a sample of Bruch's clarinet pieces. Keep in mind Bruch was a staunch admirer of Brahms and always tried to imitate him to no end. There is a piano trio in A major which many accredit to Brahms (posthumously) but it is really Bruch in his mimicry of Brahms. Anyway sample this soulful piece and compare it to the one you posted.
