Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
A Visit with Richard Stoltzman
Bill shares an interview with the legendary clarinetist whose career spans over 50 years as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, jazz performer, arranger, and recording artist. Stoltzman’s welcoming spirit has introduced us to new musicians and fresh takes on music by Messiaen, Takemitsu, and Copland, and he has commissioned works from many, many composers. As you listen to his stories about his parents, Benny Goodman, Rudolf Serkin, and his teachers and friends, you quickly understand his dedication to a lifetime spent getting it right.
