Not so long ago, Macedonia was a part of Yugoslavia, a country in which
there were many high quality clarinetists, real professionals (See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Serbian_clarinetists ). Many of its
folk musicians were also high educated, some of them even completed
postgraduate studies in clarinet performance. Mr. Ognenovski obviously isn't
one of them. I live in Serbia, a country close to Macedonia, but I have
never heard for him, neither my friends (both classical and folk
clarinetists) had. He is only a dilettante, and shouldn't be taken
seriously. By the way, an article was written by his son.
