As such, it has been on Martin Fröst's 'to-be-recorded list' for a long time, and when he gathered a dream-team of string players for a concert in Stockholm in February 2013, it was the perfect opportunity for BIS to organize a recording session. Brahms's Quintet was written in 1891 by a composer who only a year previously had renounced composing, but whose creative urge had been reawakened by his encounter with the leading clarinettist of the time, Richard Mühlfeld. Some 120 years later, Fröst - one of today's most highly regarded musicians and the recipient of the 2014 Sonning Prize - steps into Mühlfeld's shoes, in the company of Janine Jansen, Boris Brovtsyn, Maxim Rysanov and Torleif Thedéen. As a complement to this substantial work - with a duration of almost 35 minutes - Martin Fröst has transcribed six much-loved songs by Brahms, performing them with his chamber music partner of long standing, the eminent pianist Roland Pöntinen. The songs, composed between 1866-1886, range from high lyricism (Die Mainacht) to bitter-sweet nostalgia (Wie Melodien...), via the humourous Vergebliches Ständchen. To these new recordings has been added a substantial 'bonus' - Martin Fröst's performance with Pöntinen and Thedéen of the Trio for clarinet, cello and piano, which Brahms composed for Mühlfeld in the same year as the quintet. Originally released in 2005, the recording of the Trio received a warm welcome, including an Editor's Choice in Gramophone, as well as a 'Disc of the Month' on website ClassicsToday.com.

<b>Andrea Tarrodi </b>(f. 1981) fick som första svenska kompositör komponera ett beställningsverk till BBCs Last Night of the Proms, 2020. På detta album spelar <b>Nordic Chamber Orchestra </b>bland annat hennes symfoni om de fyra elementen, samt harpkonserten "Choryn" med<b> Delphine Constantin-Reznik </b>som solist. Allt under ledning av dirigenterna <b>Patrik Ringborg</b> och <b>JoAnn Falletta</b>.<br/><br/>"Tarrodis synestetiska förmågor kommer till sitt fulla uttryck på ett album där Nordiska kammarorkestern under ledning av Patrik Ringborg och JoAnn Falletta klingar klart och genomskinligt snarare än fett filharmoniskt. Som en sjö med extremt siktdjup."
