Highly praised on two continents for his glorious tone, precise technical control and musical imagination, Toronto based clarinetist Kornel Wolak is recognized as a soloist and chamber musician in both classical and cross-over repertoire. Critics have hailed him for his playing that showed “admirable calm and patience in shaping beautiful sonorities… full of energy,” (Andrzej Chylewski, Glos Wielkopolski); and “control and a smooth, elegant expressivity are what make Wolak shine,” (John Terauds, Toronto Star).
