Winner of the 2001 Carl Nielsen International Clarinet Competition, Mr. Fiterstein has been lauded by the Washington Post saying, “Fiterstein treats his instrument as his own personal voice, dazzling in its spectrum of colors, agility and range. Every sound he makes is finely measured without inhibiting expressiveness.” He regularly performs at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. In 2012 he performed the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto with conductor Thomas Dausgaard and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and will perform the same concerto with the Iris Orchestra under Michael Stern in 2013-14. He recently gave the world premiere of a new orchestrated version of the first track on his Ronn Yedidia album, World Dance, in South Carolina.

"Thankfully, the Alexander Fiterstein Trio made it through the blowing snow and bad roads in time for us to hear an absolutely sublime concert: three slim youngish gentlemen in dark suits and ties, emerging from the curtains in a relaxed yet ready state for performance of some of the world's most entrancing music.... It was a pleasure to hear pure playing, with no histrionics or campy effects. The artistry and complete technical competence from each of these friends, informed us that either one of them could have been the head of the trio." — Murray County News
