After centuries in the hands of street corner buskers, a fresh, definitive performance of Mozart’s most popular piece, Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
Mesmerising as a snake-charmer, lissom as a faun, with a technique that makes him the finest clarinettist of his generation, Martin Fröst has redefined the clarinet – you’ll never hear such range and expression – and classical music, with the inclusion of mime in his performance of Peacock Tales and a new arrangement of Brahms’ exuberant gypsy music.
Then, music like a warm Sunday morning: Copland’s Latin and jazz-influenced Clarinet Concerto and Ravel’s delicate yet passionate String Quartet.
