Recently there was an interesting thread about people's favorite non-clarinet instruments. That introduced me to pedal steel guitar and led to other fruitful online explorations.
Similarly, who are your favorite non-clarinet musicians? Besides great clarinetists, who's performances have inspired you? What have you learned from listening to them? Links if you can, please.

Heinz Holliger is without a doubt my favourite oboist.

Here are a few who, in my humble opinion , are incomparable.
Jascha Heifetz: Will there ever be another like this wonderful musician
Richard Tauber: A stylist of the first order and even today should be
listed up there with the greatest.... even though styles have
changed so much.
If I may suggest a compeer/organist
J S Bach there are not enough superlatives to describe the perfection
that he achieved.
Another thought
Stephen Sondheim I've done a lot of shows but marvel at the colours in this
man's palette . It amazes me the way he could change the very
*heart* (can't think of another description) of the music's
charactering from show to show right up to 'Passion'
Paul Robeson An artist with so much presence He could reach out to so
many people.

Heinz Hollinger is also on my list. Phrasing, dynamics, articulation . . . .

And then he goes and plays oboe d'amore ...

Danish recorder virtuoso Michala Petri and violin virtuoso Hillary Hahn. Both women are just incredible musicians.
