Famed clarinetist respectfully plays in the shadows of Bottesini by David Srebnik The Duetto for Clarinet, Double Bass and Orchestra was written by a virtuoso double bass player, Giovanni Bottesini and clarinetist Richard Stoltzman plays it on a recent CD with a famous bass virtuoso, Richard Fredrickson. Stoltzman is an internationally acclaimed soloist, but he was happy to let the bass player take the lead and have his clarinet play "second fiddle."
