My Take
Paul Meyer is a name I associate with the clarinet at its most refined. A Frenchman from Mulhouse trained at the Paris Conservatoire, he made his reputation early by winning the Young Concert Artists auditions and recording widely on Denon, including collaborations with Jean-Pierre Rampal. What I appreciate is that he didn't stay boxed in as a soloist; he moved into conducting and composing too, and France recognized him as a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres. To me he's a reminder that the clarinet can carry a whole career when the player has this much musicianship and curiosity behind it.
