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.

Overview

Paul Meyer (born 5 March 1965 in Mulhouse, France) is a French clarinetist. Meyer is known for his solo recordings on the Denon label, notably in collaborations with Jean-Pierre Rampal and Éric Le Sage. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire and at the Basler Musikhochschule. In 1982, he won the French Young Musician's Competition and in 1984, the Young Concert Artists International Auditions.
