Martin Fröst, Mozart Clarinet Concerto part 1

Martin Fröst plays Mozart Clarinet Concerto part 1

[@Foodie_189]

his freaking air control when he gets quiet is amazing

[@gameaddiction7731]

Yep, Martin is one of the best in the world for a reason.

[@andreygameplays1234]

+Game Addiction Man, he is the best clarinetist in the world

[@BernardViolinTeacher]

The greatest clarinetist ever! I've never heard such a musical, exciting sound. He plays his amazing clarinet as a great violinist plays a Stradivari.. Magnificent in all respects, dynamics, control, perfection of technique. Thank you for posting this!

[@73okemos]

Well done!! In the US you don't see many basset clarinets - especially played this well. Though Mr Fröst tends to move around a lot - if you carefully watch his mouthpiece you will see that the relationship between the mouthpiece and embouchure is absolutely static. Fantastic! Also impressive is his breath support which is maintained flawlessly regardless of where on the instrument he is playing - no ups and downs of dynamics that aren't planned - very European and very well learned.

[@throne1797]

Add to that his minimal finger movement and correct reading of the intonation. Magnificent octave jumps. I applaud his unbelievable breath control. Could teach us all a lesson on circular breathing. Could do without the bobbing and weaving tho

[@anthonysacco7563]

im a clarinet player, he was so marvolus tears came to my eyes watching and hearing a genious to a instrument that i love all my life i only wish my father was alive to him

[@bernardoabramovich383]

You are right! He is a gênios.

[@lotusyummy]

I've never thought that clarinet can sound so divine and alive before I heard Martin Frost playing. For me, clarinet was always one of the 'background' sound. He made me realize how beautiful the instrument can sound as a solo.

[@kawonkim7142]

the question is how he is able to keep his tone and pitch so consistent and clean while playing below a dynamic of piano. its incredible

[@TheOmlink]

I love reading the comments you pro musicians leave. Very impressive knowledge of all things technical and musical. I can only add that Mozart's music is beautiful, somewhat divine and moves me profoundly.

[@ryanstriker9]

I get to see this tomorrow... I'm sure my jaw will be dropped the entire time. His technique is incredible.

[@victorraphals-kath2097]

There are a lot of clarinetists with incredible technique out there. That's not what makes him stand out.

[@Ramoncico1]

I am a clarinet teacher since a lot of years and I think that this clarinetist is the best I have met in my life

[@diegocaldognetto]

How can you cut beginning and end like this? It's against nature! Such a divine piece and execution...

[@mckavitt13]

Diego Caldognetto And against art.

[@Brave_Aviator]

Totally agree. The beginning and the end are pure art as well

[@tizmon]

He is a German.

[@OleMOlsen-tm2gl]

@@tizmon Sorry! He's from Sweden!

[@annettekmcassie5831]

Martin is playing as Mozart would have wanted his music to be crafted I feel - like divine art. He is also respecting every note played from all other instruments - not just his own. To be blessed with such a gift - thank you Martin for all your hours of dedication and for bringing Mozart to us to fill an empty room with bliss.

[@smitrib]

I love how he memorized the solo! It's great! i have to play this for an audition and it's pretty intense. this guy is amazing.

[@tepposalakka2816]

Simply just great! That's how you can play when all the technical resistance is gone, and only pure music remains. Still, it's somewhat comforting to hear one extra note in a fast passage - slightly human. Love this!

[@gpgara]

Such a beautiful concerto. No words for how beautiful Mozart's music is.

[@stickwagger]

erm.. i'm only 54 and have been playing clarinet since 1970. This is the greatest player that I have heard.

[@mattmillerkb]

this has been debated as being one of his greatest works, his perfection and creativity in one is flawless

[@lovestospooge06]

I'm playing this right now and it's by far my favorite b flat clarinet solo I've ever played. It's so challenging and emotional. I love it!

[@musiclover2181]

im 12 and play clarinet. i watch this video everyday because someday that will be me up there.

[@tenorHarlequin]

You should be 19 now. How are you doing?

[@ohboy9429]

damn 8 years ago

[@pru6er]

Awesome! Go first row first chair as fast as you can! It was mine for five years straight until cheerleading. Be diligent, humble, and listen to your gut. DO maintain a solid embouchure and master the time honored techniques and then improvise! One day, you'll develop a smooth "callous" on the side of your left thumb where that woodwind really takes a toll especially repeating bars because another section can't deliver the goods- drags the time you know? I started in 4th grade and still have it! Finally, treat yourself right and others will follow.

[@tizmon]

Eight years later, hope he made it. Not flipping burgers at a fast food joint.

[@kylezhang2636]

@@pru6er You're not supposed to have a callous. The metal thingy should be almost on the nail of the thumb. I still have a callous from years of doing it wrong tho

[@maiechaefer]

Mozart forever! This is the greatest melody for all times!!! Thank you for a wonderful moment🥰🥰🥰

[@gabriellatakacs250]

Fantastic, I had played with different soloists but this one left me speechless!!!! Simply beautiful! Thank you

[@nadiatrezar8415]

Quelle performance de Mozart!!! Avec le souffle retenu dans les hauts et les bas, il nous transmet la légèreté de cette musique divine.

[@michaelbinkins9316]

Sweet cadenza. Love every aspect of this performance.

[@ceddy1953]

This music is beautful, marvellous... A masterpiece from a great composer and a virtual Martin Fröst... Gives me a feeling of freedom, joy and happyness. It´s a perfect arrangement of all orchester members. Many thanks for this posting...

[@danx836]

Such an inspiration! Lucky enough to hear him play 2 years ago with my son in Sydney Opera House!

[@mabodomoca]

Man, in your place I would've done exactly the same--wearing a bowtie would have been quite stifling. Joke aside, this was a brilliant performance. I had never heard someone play the clarinet with so much gratification. Mozart would have proud of you!

[@Bootifulbouncybodacious]

Truly amazing. I aspire to play like him one day

[@JuanMarcello]

Fiquei preso 3 meses nessa gravação, ouvia todos os dias, várias vezes. E cada vez parecia melhor. Frost é inacreditável neste Mozart!

[@Shoinie]

oh, how I love this piece!! and martin frost plays it beautifully!!

流石すぎますね。。何度でも聞きたくなります。

I love to see his performance. His sound is great.

[@zachlacanlale]

So beautiful Magnificent!

[@roberttillman8872]

I used to play the clarinet, don't anymore, Glad I'm not an expert, I just enjoy this playing and think he is GREAT. Thanks for posting.

[@gisellemdantas]

AWESOME!!!! Thank you for posting!

[@ApertureScience100]

I listen to so many videos of this piece and Martin Frost is the only to get the musicality right. No wonder hes one of the most famous virtuoso!

[@Shoinie]

Perfect...!!! Well, it's very good :) One of the best I have heard! Beautiful tone.

[@JazzGandhi]

This dude is exceptional!! He goes on feeling and not subscribed to reading the smusic sheet - that's excellence right there!

Ich bin absolut und total begeistert!!! Daumen hoch!

[@afm62]

[@erleclarinet]

it is deffenetly the best I have heard. Amazing tone, I try hard, but I can't play even close. I like the way he listens to the orchestra. Perfect timeing!

I don't ever get tired listening to Mozart's compositions.

[@diekdi]

Why does this start a few minutes into the piece? The orchestral introduction to the clarinet solo doesn't matter? Don't tell Mr. Mozart.

[@FriendlyCroock]

For some ppl it doesn't. Mind ur own business.

[@CelticSparrows]

Love this! It makes my brain relaxed.

[@WorldBest3team]

Fantastic!

[@ccanaves]

Bloody hell, what an amazing tone and articulation... his timing is unhuman.

[@8024hawk]

Geez! His smoothness and beatiful sound is RIDICULOUS!!! It doesn't even sound like a human playing!

[@mornellascl]

Incredible! best performance!

[@309hjk]

I wish I had a connection with Mozaart like these musicians!! I can only image what they must feel, expressing what they themselves have accomplished throughout their careers. BRAVO!!

[@66375137b]

So cool performance.

[@HALLBARBARA11]

The piece and the performance are equally matched. I am constrained by clicking "like" when it is better than love.

[@randomisnotgood]

2:49 Holy cow, he's circular breathing. I never have enough guts to do it during a concert.

[@ralphaaron1]

What is circular breathing

[@kaitsup7835]

@@ralphaaron1 In circular breathing you breathe in through your nose while pushing air out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks. In result, you can produce a continuous tone without interruption!

[@brendareed8412]

You can find how to videos here in KZbin.

[@PCpride]

Amazing. Simply Amazing.

[@martapoes]

i utterly agree. cant even stop moving when I LISTEN to this music...

Who needs music? (as in reading music on a stand) this guy is a boss. I especially like the parts where he ad libs over the fermattas

[@glennmoonpatrol8676]

I like the control he has over his trills. He executes them the way his mind wants without letting the clarinet take control.

[@MisaheartsLight]

Gosh this is amazing... he's my hero...

[@1AdrianR]

@Schamschi I thick the orchestral introduction is absolutely necessary and integral to the piece, introducing and effectively exposing all themes to developed and ornamented.

[@Mastertim2006]

awesome!

[@ru99414]

Perfect! Theres nothing else to say, it's just completely perfect! He plays exactly the way Mozart's clarinet concerto is suppose to be played!!

I was moved to tears.

[@ZAOUWV]

harukimisora me too! So beautiful played . What a control

[@OlegSutulov]

This is a really great performance. Hat down! this is very difficult piece to play and he's done it brilliantly. If you don't have good sound and staccato you'll expose all your weaknesses in this concert.That's why many don't event try to perform it. I've studied clarinet for 14 years and know what I am talking about :-)

[@albertjuanete]

Outstanding playing :O

[@pegasus1747]

I liked the ornamentation; thought it sounded very natural/ appropriate the period and showed off the virtuosity of the instrument which, was still new in Mozarts'' ttime though he, Mozart, loved the clarinet; and I love Mozart!I spent 4 summers in Salzburg; it was like a dream; every clarinetist should go there

[@artemisnoire2538]

He's playing a basset clarinet, (used to be called the basset horn around 1750's), it has extra keys for a lower C note, rather then the standard E.

[@LovedontHate2297]

Thank you i was wondering why my version was so different

[@wilklonen2337]

Rebecca Lee iii

[@giauzargd8150]

Actually, the basset horn and basset clarinet are two different instruments. The basset horn was more of an experimental precursor to the modern day basset clarinet, the latter of which is based on the design of a modern clarinet with its range extended to a low C. The basset horn is quite different in appearance (something which can be confirmed with a quick Google search).

[@Clarinet69]

You're wrong

[@crawfordfanatic]

He played this to the TEE! Well done Martin Frost! I played flute, violin, and clarinet. I miss being able to play like this.
