Martin Fröst is probably the greatest clarinettist in the world, but more than that, he's a marvellous communicator and fantastic to watch. Astonishingly, he can dance while he plays, and his brother's new work has him performing as a marionette!
Martin Fröst's recording of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto was named the best in the world by specialist magazine Classica-Repertoire and his performance has been watched more than half a million times on YouTube – testament to the popularity of both musician and work. ABC Classic FM listeners voted the Mozart one of their top ten favourite concertos and many remember it from the film Out of Africa.
Satu Vänskä leads music from her homeland Finland and plays Paganini-inspired music on the Australian Chamber Orchestra's Stradivarius violin.

Reviews
“A very physical player, this Swedish virtuoso treats his instrument as almost an extension of his body…Commanding a rare range of tonal colour, Frost was melting, nimble and witty…” Sunday Telegraph
“His virtuosity lies in his exceptional dexterity and agility…and in his daring control of the instrument’s dynamic and expressive extremes.” The Times
“Martin Fröst's got moves; he should be crowned Scandinavia’s Lord of the Dance…He is a naturally gestural player who launches himself into this music body and soul, striking angular poses and voguing - yes, voguing - with clarinet in hand. A commanding sweep of his instrument was all it took to unleash cascades of massed string dissonance from the ACO. All this without compromising his astonishing control of relentless melodic lines (sustained with circular breathing), his refined, characterful tone and the mastery of a range of extended techniques at times giving the impression of a second soloist shadowing his every note.” Limelight Magazine
