Martin Fröst, Mozart Clarinet Concerto part 3

[@tepposalakka2816]

Just a small footnote - notice (at the end) him first hugging the conductor, the shaking hand with the 1st violin player, showing "thank you" -gesture towards the orchestra - and first after that turning to the audience to be cheered! A true musician gives credit to his fellow musicians!

[@benjamin-hughmackay2094]

Yes, how many people do we see showing off and ignoring the long-suffering orchestra. This was a brilliant performance :)

[@StaviFilms]

his tone was probably one of the best i've ever heard. there are no need for negative comments. he did a brilliant job with his articulations, phrasing, and accuracy. and you know it.

[@bh28]

Martin Frost has such clean beautiful double tongueing. He also plays amazingly difficult technicalities with such beauty. His lower and altissimo registers have an amazing full tone. AMAZING!

[@johancandefors7939]

One of Swedens best classical wind instrument musicians; an inspiration for all us wind instrument players, with his fantastic interpretations of the pieces he plays!

[@ezrabeck7112]

I have played this countless times....I can not tire of hearing him play

[@agapanthusazul2607]

AMAZING MOZART - AMAZING FRÖST...WHAT A PERFECT COMBINATION! THANK YOU, WOLFGANG AMADEUS, THANK YOU, MARTIN

[@djonesey5]

The Mozart Clarinet Concerto, particular its 1st--and here--3rd movements are deceptively difficult. Those who say otherwise best play with metronomic finger precision, let alone at the 92 BPM Mr. Frost takes it at here. And yet if that's not enough, the guy is double tonguing the living daylights out of it at places were slurred interpretations would have been far easier, if not easy given the speed. And yet if that's not enough he's doing it on a heavier basset clarinet. And yet if that's not enough, for all its technical demands, it's as if Mr. Frost could be doing this and working on a crossword puzzle at the same time but for lack of a third hand! Bravo!!!!

[@merrittfallis6544]

I concur. This is one of the pieces I played for my senior recital, and although it wasn't the most difficult I played, it took me a LONG time to prepare. It's a workout, especially with the slurred passages alternating with the staccato phrases. This performance by Martin Frost was fantastic !

[@bchristian85]

This performance is a bit faster than others that I've heard.

[@danzeng9771]

Does anyone else notice that every time the conductor looks at him in the performance he turns the other way? Or maybe it is just coincidence!? Great performance by one of my favorite musicians!

[@danielbonning]

Wonderful performance .....................!!! Grazie di cuore !!!

[@gautierannie1377]

Merci pour cette magnifique interprétation💓💓

[@michellestone6021]

I remember playing this for solo and ensemble....Couldn't quite play it that fast. So impressive in technique and range....one of my favorites on clarinet.

[@wolfgangvetter4032]

I played this for S&E back in 2018. I actually had an A Clarinet at the time, so I was able to play it in the original key. Good times.

[@Pyfacefornever]

I find it amazing that he can get such a brilliant sound when a holding himself like the hunchback of Notre Dame! A fantastic performance :-)

[@user-wi4lm8lg8p]

I loved playing this in H.S. Intricate piece,, yet enjoyable to perform! Can't believe I found it again. Absolutely splendid!

[@StaviFilms]

i agree :) he is an unbelievable clarinetist. and there are no need for negative comments.

[@sarahmah8313]

His sound is simply flawless.... :)

[@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!

[@hughmackay5200]

The Master lived only 35 years on this earth. But his music shall live on for ever.

[@thierryrosa6511]

Il n'est de "musique" que du Génial Wolfgang et tout le reste n'est que "bruit". Martin est l'un des humbles serviteurs ô combien fidèle à ces "notes qui s'aiment". Merci pour ce grand moment Monsieur Fröst.

[@isisbarreto7141]

Espetacular,melhor interpretação já vista. Mozart ficaria emocionado!!

[@Shoinie]

Perfect playing!

[@mornellascl]

10! Best concerto's performance on youtube!

[@upasnarayan]

Martin Frost is just amazing!!! I've listened to this piece so many times and I would never be able to do what he does!

[@diegorodriguez2577]

Es el concierto mas precioso para clarinete del genio mozart y en la interpretacion de este fenomeno del clarinete martin fros sencillamente perfecto

[@tepposalakka2816]

Marvellous - should be listened after the soothing 2nd part, not alone. Then you can hear the idea of this fast tempo in its right context. This part is great, because it works in different tempi, also a bit slower and becomes then slightly more dance-like. An easier pace gives the soloist and the orchestra a better possibility to pick up smallest details of the texture. But - admiring the easiness of playing, tongue, breathing... everything! All three parts in a row tells you what a clarinet can do in hands of a true master. 1st showing the possibilities of varying and using different solutions, 2nd showing the richness of the tone and dynamics, 3rd amazing with the infinite technical ability, still in the close connection to the music and Mozart.

[@nadiatrezar8415]

Une très belle version et interprétation!!! Une simple observation: à la fin, Martin Frost, en premièr serre dans ses bras le Chef d’orchestre, ensuite donne la main tremblante au 1er violon, remercie l’orchestre et ensuite le public. C'est un vrais musicien.

[@cozycatcrochet]

I really love this piece. I currently have the sheet music for it and have been practicing it. My goodness is it difficult. It is nice to hear him play this so that I know what it is supposed to sound like. I love it!

[@BellaTheRandom]

I love this guy.^^ Hes an amazing clarinetest.I never knew you could get so far with a clarinet....hearing his music...makes me wanna work so much harder in my marching band.^^ I did my report on him the otherday,but sadly,I kept saying Robet Frost instead of Martin frost.:( I kept confusing everyone,including my band director,as I was talking about him.XD

[@eclair9]

It goes without saying that the entire piece is beyond remarkable, but from 6:36 through 7:04 is just mesmerizing. Mr. Frost is astounding!!

[@juliakramer2565]

In my opinion, this is one of the best performances out there.

[@clementclarinet]

so musical!! you can tell the conductor is enjoying a fine musician such as Martin Frost

[@victorvargas1332]

Nada mejor para esta tarde de viernes que escuchar este rondó del concierto para clarinete K 622 de Mozart, con el performance extraordinario de Martin Fröst.

[@PaulLangan1]

Sublime: Orchestra and featured soloist.

[@ВасилийРагурин]

Интересно и очень солидно слушается этот концерт. Именно звучание этой модели кларнета . Просто бархатный звук! Браво ! Браво! Мартин Фрост!

[@kateknight1393]

Damm I'm on a zoom call now and listing to this for my music class

[@henryt2229]

I'm doing this piece for music class aswell

[@lamarra75massimo]

[@alilapointe1]

mozart and beethoven form the biggest pair of balls in the history of classical music. many thanks for posting

[@TheFra091]

Perfino il direttore si stupisce della grande bravura di Martin!!!

[@gorindo1120]

each melody is moving forward to a variety of emotions. 크라리넷의 음율이 너무 멋지다. cool music in it too.

[@RCirene]

DUDE HE'S SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[@melitaturraturra7702]

Este movimiento me enternece!, mi amado Mozart!

[@Blyatimir_Putin]

Heh... I get to play the orchestral accompaniment on a piano. How fun. Love this piece though. Sounds awesome.

[@josephhanotiaux2915]

Magnifique interprétation

[@mariannapragay5670]

fantasztikus, bravo, koszonom

[@tepposalakka2816]

And last footnote: look at him first thanking the conductor, 1st violinist and the whole orchestra - and first after that turning to the audience to be celebrated. Such a collegiate gesture makes my eyes wet as a clarinet player in different ensembles and orchestras.

[@charlieb4920]

Damn this guy and this orchestra is good

[@manama1234]

Fantastic

[@cassiecyb99]

I wanna be just like him he is such and inspiration to me 🎶🎵❤

[@TheSweetyHJ]

he's awesome..

[@sopranino56]

Very good , Thanks.

[@devoncifuni]

I'd personally Like to see Mr. martin here to do one of the Spohr Clarinet Concertos. I think that would rightly display his virtuosity.

[@Maryclaire92]

he is amazing...

[@selinalauha]

love this, gotta play it:))

[@halfouts]

Can't he miss just one note just to prove he's not a cyborg? What a thoroughly enjoyable performance of my favorite Mozart piece!

[@thunderfoot43]

Martin Frost is arguably the best wind player of this era.

[@Etalex77]

Genius. Bravo!

[@gabenlsn]

technically, this piece really isn't that challenging, but the control and tone he possesses is truly astonishing.

[@ryanchang5836]

I'm a 7th grader trying to learn this, the double-tonguing is soooo hard.

[@FlippingFantastic]

@@ryanchang5836 at no point is double tonguing necessary, in this or any other piece of clarinet repertoire.

[@ryanchang5836]

@@FlippingFantastic Depends on who you are.

[@Brave_Aviator]

@@ryanchang5836 and how fast you want to take this piece as well

[@profitleads]

Superb !

[@kateknight1393]

So talented

[@samwige9on9the9left]

I'm determined to be able to play this one day hahaha.

[@damrog147]

2.10-2.30 - no questions. Amazing!

[@ru99414]

I am a huge fan of Martin and he plays exactly how i think Mozart's clarinet concerto should be played

[@blueheat45]

@caiogflopes There are parts where I feel he could play louder. However, he plays so quietly that it creates a much larger contrast when he plays forte. Also playing his technique at piano is extremely difficult, which shows his unbelievable ability as a clarinetist.

[@JongAmPark]

His technique and breathing is very good. It feels like he plays faster than normal, but it's his interpretation.

[@nimeshsingh4943]

That doesn't mean he's not playing faster than convention though- calling it his interpretation doesn't dismiss it

[@alilapointe1]

mozart is magic !!!!!!!!

[@DJT183]

Holy moly! And my instructor says I'm to play that?! Not gonna happen!!

[@jonathantosiocello]

Take it one step at a time... this concerto will stay with you for the rest of your life... Frost has (I'd imagine) been playing this for years and years. It's an adventure :) You can do it!

[@crrodriguez]

It is a pain in the posterior to play at the beginning, The fast passages are not as hard to play if you try enough..the breathing can get slightly painful to get right. Start slowly and lots of patience...good luck.;-)

[@davinphan6514]

We have to do parts of the first, second, and third movements of this piece for auditions to determine our seat in our section for class and I kind of want to die

[@Brave_Aviator]

My private clarinet teacher is asking me to play 1st movement and I have recitals every year so I will play first then second and then this...

[@clairannette]

I'm not too certain the release has expired on exclusive performance rights to Aho, if any were ever negotiated. I wouldn't plan on looking for it published for the masses in the near future.

[@Perfect5Recurve]

Martin Fröst and Julian Bliss have the Best performances and interpretations of any I've heard play this beautiful Concerto.

[@Inielboult75018]

enfin une version avec un cor de basset.Bravo

[@montsehv]

Tres joli!

[@sopranino56]

Martin Forst is the best clarinetist in world

[@thierrywarot5792]

Ce troisième mouvement exulte du début à la fin et c'est une immense jouissance.

[@cozycatcrochet]

I was not responding to the video but to someone else who asked me a question about the sheet music I have for this piece. My phone apparently responded to the wrong part of the thread. So I'm going to go to the person who asked me what sheet music I have for this piece. I have the B flat clarinet music for this piece.

[@blueheat45]

@caiogflopes Why exactly? She does play louder, but not nearly as much contrast. Also Martin Frost's articulation is much clearer than hers.

[@albanyjohn]

Because most people your age have only ever heard the usual DOOF DOOF rubbish served up to them by the FM radio stations. Congratulations on being more discerning. I really hope you get to see a concert like this live, it's even better :)

[@JRS2M]

Ah, sueco duma figa!!! És um excelente intérprete até dizer chega!!!... :) Sublime!!!

[@itaintryan]

i love the flute lady with the glasses.

[@sahand144]

Hella fast and hella awesome

[@gustavovega828]

que magnifico concierto.. alguien me puede decir, que tipo de clarinete esta tocando este genio, si es bajo, sib o mib. gracias.

[@seferinasolis2688]

Es un clarinete Soprano en Sib

[@niclarinet19]

it's a basset clarinet in A.

[@eliasgilbert7768]

es un clarinete Basset en La. Originalmente se escribió el concerto para eso. Hoy en dia se usa más el clarinete en La normal.

[@TheKlarinettist]

Although is certainly faster than what other clarinetists usually take this piece, I consider this performance cleaner and more artistic than Sharon Kam's, Julian Bliss's, or Karl Leister's (which I think sounds stuck in the 17th century). However, if I perform this, I would likely take it a notch slower. I like the dramatic jump at 4:30 I want my own basset clarinet! =O

[@GothPonyClub]

@fcoclarinete opinions are welcome but criticizing little things are just stupid. there is always something wrong. every musician can perform the piece how they feel to show off their technique, musicality and overall change things to challenge themselves. maybe he whited out everything to make his own articulations and dynamics. I think this is the best performance because he shows musicality, great technique and knows how to give a show and give a great sound better than anyone else i've seen

[@nickelback1955]

WOW!

[@TheKlarinettist]

correction; the jump is at 4:28

[@MrKlemps]

He is the Heifetz of clarinetists, only with much better taste and a totally selfless attitude. He is the Buddy Rich, the Earl Wild. And so he makes you think the clarinet has never been performed on correctly before. And then he makes you understand that it's the finale of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto that has not been fully realized before.

[@GothPonyClub]

@fcoclarinete every musician can perform it how he/she pleases. I find it very negative when people criticize a musician instead of enjoying the music. That isn't why they perform. Criticism isn't needed here especially since most of the people who do aren't exactly professionals themselves and more importantly in the position to adjudicate.

[@klarinetta]

No I don't know it but I know that you know it and I respect that :)

[@1cleandude]

Being a newbie I am thinking the majority of this piece is played in the Clarion register; nes pas?? Thanks 🙏🏻

@blueheat45 he doesnt make so many contrats, so i think it could really be louder... Well, its a matter of taste, so we wont reach an equal opinion! haha

[@StaviFilms]

that's not too fast, that's skill.
