Clarinetist Richard Stoltzman's, virtuosity, musicianship and sheer personal magnetism have made this two-time Grammy® Award winner one of today's most sought-after concert artists. As soloist with more than 100 orchestras, as a captivating recitalist and chamber music performer (performing the first clarinet recitals in the histories of both the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall), and as an innovative jazz artist, Stoltzman has defied categorization, dazzling critics and audiences alike while bringing the clarinet to the forefront as a solo instrument. A prolific recording artist, Stoltzman’s acclaimed releases can be heard on BMG/RCA, SONY Classical, MMC, Naxos and other labels, and include the Grammy® winning recordings of Brahms' sonatas with Richard Goode; and trios of Beethoven, Brahms and Mozart with Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma; as well as Hartke's Landscapes with Blues, a New York Times "Best of 2003." He performed Rautavaara's Clarinet Concerto (which was written for him) at the Norfolk Festival in 2008.
