<<<I disagree. I believe Stoltzman has done more for clarinet and music in
general than a lot of "superstars" have by making it more mainstream and
increasing exposure.>>>

I would like to ask who you would consider more of a "superstar" of the
clarinet than Stoltzman. If superstar-dom means recognition from the
general public, whether or not based on actual musical accomplishments, I
can't think of any clarinetist who is more qualified for the title of
superstar than he is.
