“Until you’ve heard Martin Fröst, you really haven’t heard the clarinet.” The Times
Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto was one of the last pieces he completed before his death. Composed for the basset clarinet - lower pitched than the modern instrument - it has a very special colour, most obviously in the profoundly melancholic beauty of its slow movement. It’s played by one of the world’s leading clarinettists, Martin Fröst. Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony is perhaps his most popular. In Donald Runnicles the BBC SSO is fortunate to have a Chief Conductor who understands better than most how to shape Bruckner’s magnificent musical architecture, golden melodies and overwhelming climaxes.
