Product description
Product Description
One of a small handful of truly international wind players, Martin Fröst mesmerizes audiences throughout the world, whether performing concertos especially written for him or core repertoire such as the pieces presented here.Fröst's first recording of the Concerto in A major is one of the best-selling discs in BIS' history. Returning to this glorious work, he now also directs the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and has assembled a truly star-studded group of friends for the coupling works.
Review
'[Fröst] directs the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie, and his performance has great suavity and fluency.' --The Guardian, Andrew Clements, 18/10/2013
'The Swedish clarinetist put his early thoughts on the finest concerto for his instrument in 2003...he remains one of this masterpiece's supreme interpreters...the concerto and trio are pure joy from first to last.' ALBUM OF THE WEEK --The Sunday Times, Hugh Canning, 27/10/13
'With his smooth, liquid tone, Fröst is always sensitive to the music's melancholy undertow, bending the pulse in response to a shadowing of the harmony. His discreet added embellishments and inventive 'lead-ins' always sound spontaneous.' --Gramophone, January 2014
'Bubbling along with joyous, unstoppable momentum, its dancing energy feels entirely natural, making other versions seem hopelessly slow and earthbound (although of course, they are not). Fröst takes the melody's vast double octave leaps entirely in his stride, and dispatches the virtuosic flourishes with élan and masterful articulation. You can't go wrong with either of Fröst's excellent recordings of the Concerto, but the sheer, grin-inducing thrill of this finale may be the deciding factor.' --International Record Review, January 2014
'His liquid sound, with bubbling arpeggio figuration and hushed pianissimos, is well matched by the chamber-scale contribution of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie, neatly tuned and well balanced...an immaculately played and beautifully recorded disc.' --BBC Music Magazine. February 2014

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2015This was ordered as soon as I heard it on the radio - quite fabulous in every way. I have read some reviews saying Frost is too slick technically - what rubbish! Technical perfection allows musicality to blossom, and the phrasing, nuances, and dynamic control are, forgive the pun, breath-taking. Repeated listening can become less satisfying, not so here. The pure quality oozes from the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, and is matched by demonstration standard sound quality - my system has seldom sounded as good. Fantastic.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2013It was a very good recording and I can say to anyone of my friends to by it...and og course Martin Fröst is very good to listen to
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2018I entirely agree with the review by Sid Nuncius.
For me the concerto is performed very beautifully but it is all a little laid back. I learn, nor hear, anything new from this performance. In the hands of Marin Frost the music flows like oil and Mozart would have been pleased about this, but would Mozart have want a bit more drama. ?
The trio is slightly better and if you turn up the volume the clarinet sound is very well projected indeed, but for my liking the beautiful first movement is a tad too slow and measured The three players mould the music very sensitively and there is much to enjoy, but for me it does not deserve a five star rating.
I have to add that I am a great admirer of Martin Frost.
I streamed this disc,

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Mozart Clarinet Works
What’s special about this CD isn’t just Martin Frost’s playing, but the inclusion of the Mozart Kegelstatt trio, a less known, but lovely work. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars 空前絶後、驚天動地!!
私が最近感動する演奏の条件とは、卓越した設計と最高の技術と熱い魂に導かれていること。清新さとオリジナリティを持ち、過去に聴いたことのないようなもの。それが楽曲全体、フレーズ、1つ1つの音符に、実際の音として意図が透けずに自然に込められているもの。これらを満たすCDだ。不明を恥じるとは、これを聴かずにいたこのことだ。
凡庸な箇所がない。様々な表現が美しく長く連なる山脈のように繋がっていき、茫然自失している間に曲は終了する。歌う、飛ばす、圧をかけたたみかける。刹那も永遠も、快活さも幽玄さも、現れては消える。すべてが絶妙で、曲に新たな命を与える。独自のアーティキュレーションに、はっとする。楽譜(ベーレンライター版)とは異なる過去に聴いたことのない箇所も、一部を除き一興。スタッカート無視、レガート無視、全般無視もいい!
同じ楽句の繰り返しの表情では、強弱で変化を付けるだけの演奏も多いが、何もかもが違い驚愕。強弱以外に、緩急、硬軟、すっと抜いたりぬっと保ったり、様々な絶品のニュアンスがてんこ盛り。それが、新しい方法で曲の本質を浮き彫りにする。それはシンプルなトリルの中でも、短い間に効果的に表現される(トリルは基本、上の音符から始めるのがかっこいい)。さらに驚くべきことに、それはたった1つの4分音符の中でも行われる。クレッシェンド、ディミヌエンドも圧巻。スタッカートは何種類の表情があるのか。タンギングの使い分けは縦横無尽。バセット・クラリネットならではの高中低音域の音色もみごと。
(2つだけ難を言うと、ウラッハから聴いている昭和男にはカデンツァやり過ぎ。あとオケの表現、若干あざとさが垣間見える。それぐらい)。
