Mate Bekavac is recognised as one of the great clarinetists of his generation, despite of his "commercial shyness". Wherever he appears, he's hailed among collegues and critics as the "secret favorite", a full-blooded musician and a virtuoso who risks and isn't spoiled by current fashion tendencies of music industry.

A devoted, silent seeker with a special, subtly nuanced sound beyond bright or dark, french or german clarinet stereotype tendencies (he is perhaps the only one who ever gained perfection in both systems), always in favor of musical expression and sincere transmission of written or hidden musical texts.
