    Overview

    Martin Fröst’s mature vision of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto evokes mystical imagery with its hypnotic lyricism and joyful spontaneity. He has performed the piece many times with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, establishing an artistic relationship based on mutual respect and emotional engagement.

    Their programme also includes works arranged by Fröst’s brother Göran, crowned by his evocative treatment of three Klezmer dances.
