Overview

Martin Fröst pays homage to the music of Brahms as his season as Wigmore Hall Artist in Residence draws to a close.

He is joined by Roland Pöntinen, a friend and colleague since schooldays, to perform arrangements of well-known songs and Hungarian Dances in company with the glorious Clarinet Sonata in E flat, praised by the Brahms scholar Karl Geiringer for its ‘tender melancholy’ and ‘splendid perfection of form’.
