Ok, I'll be among the first to stand in front of the firing squad...

I like Stoltzman's playing. His technical prowess is wonderful and he is easy
to listen to. But he is not my favorite clarinetist. I like a more liquidy,
chocolaty, poetic tone. Not to be an iconoclast, but Benny Goodman is also not
my favorite clarinetist. The clarinetist I admire most for his playing is
Gervase de Peyer.

Beauty is in the "ear" of the beholder perhaps?
