Clariperu: Martin Fröst: Aho Clarinet Concerto

[pter77p]

Martin un Genio del clarinete! En el Perú eres más que bienvenido!

[5oo5LiX]

Martin, a wonderful singer! And Aho wrote a concerto as though, for it seemed to me) I bought this concert on CD. I can not find it in the video.

Martin is the best!

[clarinethotty]

I find Martin Frost's work facinating and captivating, I have never heard anyone like him before. I inspire to be like him.

[clarinet343]

Yet another unique clarinetist.The clarinet is very flexible and it's amazing how he plays this.

[Polka989]

Insane

[ManlioGiordano]

Truly a great clarinetist - to needlessly reiterate a now very familiar observation. I remember many of all those late evenings during the early 90:s when we were practicing in adjacent rooms at the (Stockholm) conservatory, where his brother also studied; actually, some odd chromatic runs - part of some contemporary piece - that he practiced "almost eternally" on his clarinet are still engraved in my acoustic memory... Memories can be so vivid and precise, sometimes; spooky!

[elclarinet]

The best clarinetist of our times! Never stops to explore.

By the way... Concerto by Kalevi Aho is enormous...

[DinNyaNastkusinAB]

Du är COOL!!! En dag kommer jag och snor ditt jobb:P

[Catexpoint]

Okay, now that I know that piece is Vittorio Monti's Czardas, does anyone know where I can see this entire arrangement? I see it was composed for violin, but it's so fun with the two voices!

[Catexpoint]

(The piece at 4:40)

[MasterMangi]

Martin is very good! But why are they playing Hilborgs concerto in the begining? =)

[flat5flat9flat13]

There are still inspiring people out there. Good to know.

[punkchola92]

he's my idol

he plays wonderful

[00000ppp]

This is not the Aho concerto. This piece is by Anders Hillborg

[hallveiggka]

They are announcing Aho's clarinet concerto, and this video portraits Frost as a performer, that's why you see/hear Hillborg's concerto at the beginning - and a lot of Aho's music later!

[gab1279]

An excellent video! I think Martin Frost repersents the future of classical music performance. The new concerto is beautiful, Kalevi Aho's music is really worth checking out.

[Clariperu]

We agree: he is the future of classical music performances - his is just unique an so inspiring!

[louie950]

He completely mastered the clarinet from my point of view.

[rachelandthecupcakec]

he's fantastic!

[Puffstababe]

Wow. No words to describe how awesome he is. Wow.

[clarinetlucas]

wow . this is wonderfull concert. And M. Frost he has great clarinetist.

[EXPERTCLARINETIST]

This is a wonderful video. It's very respectful toward the beautiful instrument of Clarinet. Thank you for sharing.

[madraven07]

Humbling doesn't begin to cover it.

[csgcho]

does anyone know what piece he's playing at 4:43 around there. i think it's a violin piece..can't remember what it's called..can someone let me know? msg me plz..

thanks

[kokaibalazs]

Vittorio Monti: Csárdás

[Tyrfingr]

Saw and heard him for the first time today in gothenburg playing a clarinet concerto of Crusell. It's safe to say that he masters the clarinet to perfection, awesome performence. Perhaps one should get tickets for the same repetoar in february ;P

[rockclimber21]

wow.... this is really good!

[Mangi93]

Martin...Du e den bästa klarinettisten jag någonsin har hört...Du e min idol!!!=)

[Mangi93]

Martin is the best clarinet player ever.....and his from Sweden =)

[annasib]

very good sound and very good men....

[farmboy118]

inspiring!

[eloyfr]

me gustaria saber si puede emocionar a alguien tocando una sonata de brahms por ejemplo.

[pureclarinet]

Evidentemente no conoces el trabajo de Frost - las grabaciones de las sonatas de Brahms son fantásticas, y su versión del concierto de Mozart fue votada "la mejor de todos los tiempos". Es impresionante con el repertorio clásica y muy impresionante (único) con sus proyectos de música moderna. There, I said it!

[manugaditano]

me podrias decir como sellama este hombre? y ya de paso el mejos clarinetista para ti de jazz ;) gracias !!

[luciferlocke]

Fröst is amazing, but so is Aho. I think his concertos will be remembered as the best from this period.

[TheShark909]

Awsome, I am not suprised by his skill. He better have been good to be able to be on T.V. Or at least show his skills to be impressive somehow

[emochat]

see metin efe

[lukeatluka]

Wow, he's amazing, what a staccatto at higher registers, waw:) and sound nice nice.His talent is rly impressive and the way at which he does things, nice moves.This is one of the best movies about clarinet concert, clarinet player, composers @ youtube.

Just something:"WAUW"

[cmtks]

He's amazing! OMG! WOW! And I've never heard of people dancing. It's his own thing and i think it's neat!

[marcomazzini]

I agree, he is just amazing!

[dodddd29383]

it's just his style. that actually differentiated him from many other clarinettists. and he is truly amazing, since that dancing doesn't mess up his embouchure or tone.

[minifish]

your amazing! whats with the dancing...?

[wabbitsnot]

if that lame dancing helps him play like that... then keep it up.

[AcridPeter]

Why does he have to act the goat?

[Mattlover000]

this is so cool. i love how pros can make the clarinet sound so bold and not all ugly. im not quiting till i sound like that.but ive only been playing for almost 3 years and to sound that good takes a long time

[felinofurioso]

me too, he is jut amazing, what a great inspiring performer...

[daisenseiciccone]

I love Martin Fröst... xD

[Bigneebug]

Thank you clariperu for posting this. It is bold and fresh, and the Aho is FANTASTIC.

[valvetrom]

For a moment I thought Mr Bean had arrived

[nataclarinet]

really cool!!!!!

[meals464]

cool

[lilsweetie4132]

WoW, im in the 7th grade and im JUST learning those notes,

[evan4president]

B flat. Good luck & keep at it! :)

[greendayholic]

i really love how he can connect feeling, soul and music together. it all falls into place. well done you truly are a great clarinetist! [and inspiring as well]

[gaylenwarrior]

heh, his hands make the clarinet look so small. = ) Nice Vid, thanks for posting it.

[stormiron]

I love clarinet!

[thebloodhound]

good player. but whats all that stuff at the start!!?!

the doyle!!

[Lamjata]

I think if you say "Martin Fröst is fantasic" or "amaizing" or "great" or whatever, nothing is enough :) He is a king, I thought.

[trepman05]

Great work!!!

[Gigolio]

You seem to be Martin`s real fan also :-D

By the way, his new album with Nielsen`s and Aho`s concertos is almost released.

I also recorded Aho concerto, but not that one with BBC...

...few months ago he did it with Swedish radio orchestra, so I have that one.

Really a major work...

[nataclarinet]

well, I'm a fan of good musicians, and since I play clarinets, Martin is one of them. Nice to 'talk' to you Gigolio!

[Gigolio]

...yes, of course I have listen to Robert Spring also, but...

...only dry technic, and that`s all.

and Martin has better technic, and he sound the best!!!!

How many Martin`s album`s have you heard there...

...for an example, in his album "Close up" is presentet sauch amazing tecnic, that it is unbelieveble (A)

...but of course, Robert Spring is also a great major player, respect ;-)

[nataclarinet]

well, I have all his discs, even the live performance of this Aho concerto, recorded live by the BBC (the world premiere). Great piece, great soloist, a great inspiration...sorry Bob!

[jaknick08]

Robert Spring is the best clarinet player ever

[nataclarinet]

man, Bob always play the same shit. Have you ever hear him playing Mozart, Brahms, or Copland with any MAYOR orchestra? Sorry but I cannot even compare Frost and Bob - the first one is far, far better.

[Gigolio]

Martin is no doubt the best clarinet player ever!!!

[nataclarinet]

what an inspiration...thanks for posting this video.

[felinofurioso]

great, great, what an original performer.

[nikolaclar]

i like!

[Clariperu]

He is one of the best for sure, and by far the most original.

[kivanc22]

the best clarinetist of the world

[Suckiesn]

did he write the dancing too?

[Clariperu]

No Suckiesn, he explains that he worked with coreographers and other artists to create his projects.

[Exezz]

I think he is the best clarinet performer in the world

[UFxKevin]

Thats quite a bold statement. There are some other VERY good players out there. The tip of the iceberg is Larry Combs, Stanley Drucker, Sabine Meyer, Karl Leister, etc..

[Eatapappy85]

Yes, but where Frost really succeeds is originality. He combined dance and theater with music. Anytime you can combine different art forms together, good things usually happen.

[Clariperu]

agreed!

[Clariperu]

you are welcome!

[bwoodgate]

What a great film. I was at the premier and it was brilliant! really interesting to hear them talk about it, thankyou
