Poco adagio –

OrchestraLahti Symphony Orchestra
ConductorVänskä, Osmo

Aho's Clarinet concerto was immediately hailed as 'a masterpiece' at its première, in London in April 2005: 'Until you've heard Martin Fröst, you really haven't heard the clarinet. This young Swedish musician becomes the clarinet. His entire body moves and breathes with the instrument - and he creates sounds the likes of which you will go a long way to hear. - It's a mark of Fröst's imagination and genius that he chose the Finnish composer Kalevi Aho to write him a clarinet concerto - a work of beguiling beauty and huge excitement' (The Times, UK).
All five movements: Tempestoso, Cadenza, Vivace con brio, Adagio mesto and Epilogo Misterioso. Recorded in the presence of the composer.
Classics Today: 'Intensely lyrical, thematically memorable, and beautifully scored, this piece easily should find a home in concert halls throughout the world'; Klassik heute 10/10/10, outstanding; Gramophone: outstanding; BBC Music Magazine: Editor's choice; Penguin Guide: outstanding; International Record Review: outstanding; Music Web International: outstanding: 'A clear winner on all accounts, Aho's concerto is pre-destined to be a standard work'.
