if stoltzman is the only clarinetist you're listening to, you're REALLY missing out on some great playing. i guess nothing is wrong with stoltzman if you like that style, but as someone mentioned, yes, he has technique, but just because he makes money doesn't mean he's the ideal clarinet player. i have a recording of him doing the clarinet, cello piano trios with ax and yo yo ma, and i NEVER listen to it- i'd even give it away if someone wanted it. of course he has some stuff that is likable (what that is is up to the individual) but, personally, i find his constant vibrato
naseuating (sp), especially in the more classical music. yuk. ok, so some like him, some don't, but i HIGHLY suggest you check out some other respected players- or just any other ones, marcellus, sabine meyer, jon manasse, combs,
kell, karl leister, eddie daniels, benny goodman, and the list goes on- no one left out intentionally... but, that's only my opinion
