"Ebullient, spirited and genuinely inspired…
Stier's tone is mellow and graceful…
the stress is on the beauty of the melodic line."
Fanfare -- The Magazine for Serious Record Collectors
November/December 1993

"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."
The Clarinet May/June 1990
