Martin Frost – Roots
Description
Martin Fröst’s first album on Sony Classical – “Roots” – shows the full range
of Martin’s artistry as musician and story teller. “Roots” features solo
pieces for the clarinet, as well as pieces for clarinet and orchestra, and
newly arranged material for clarinet, orchestra, and choir, including world
premier recordings of newly commissioned material by Hans Ek and Anders
Hillborg. Thus, the listener will be presented with music as the composer
wrote it as well as new arrangements and transcriptions to bring in a fresh
approach. Martin Fröst is accompanied by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic
Orchestra and The Adolf Fredrik’s Girls Choir. “Roots” takes the listener from
the oldest European music to newly composed pieces, echoing and referencing
centuries of music making and composition. Martin Fröst explains: “I have
taken my inspiration from the source and development of music, drawing a line
from the earliest “roots” of music – music inspired by dance and folk, music
drawn from sacred rituals of praise, and music as pure entertainment – and
explored how, from these roots, we can open up a new musical door into the
future. The programme will contain various instrumental combinations, some in
original, some in new fresh arrangements and some will be new compositions
written specially for this programme.”The journey starts in the Middle Ages
with an interpretation of a Gregorian hymn and a Hildegard von Bingen piece
stemming before the programme moves forward through time, featuring
compositions by Telemann, Crusell, Schumann, Brahms, Bartok, and Piazolla —
all inspired by the art of dance and folk music.“All the works are tied to
each other and played attacca. The themes are transfigured throughout the
programme, the music is changing, developing, evolving, staying the same,
itself, embracing everything
