"Ebullient, spirited and genuinely inspired… Stier's tone is mellow and graceful… the stress is on the beauty of the melodic line."

"Every so often in the clarinet world a solo recording comes along that sets the standard by which all others must be judged. Stier's is another classic landmark in the history of clarinet recordings. This performance exemplifies a deep and genuine balance between the manuscript's technical demands and consummate artistry. The listener experiences a mystical journey…passionate…sensitive and intimate…exciting and driving…powerful and spirited. Stier's performance is both exquisitely intimate and uniquely expressive... a must-purchase for any serious audiophile."
