Zlatko Stahuljak, music critic for Vijenac – a Magazine of Matica hrvatska for Literature, Art & Science writes about recital given in the Palace of Matica hrvatska on the January 17, 2005: “With this recital, clarinetist Mihael Paar showed a high range of sonority in all registers of his attractively movable instrument along with virtuosity of clear articulation in legato as well as in much more difficult staccato which particularly became prominent in the last addition – composition by N. Rimsky-Korsakov. His performance drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.”
