Hamell On Trial: Happiest man in the world [Vinyl LP]

I pressreleasen säger bröderna att de genom åren varit osams om det mesta. Dock inte om Big Bill Broonzy's storhet. Därför blir detta ett samarbete som är ett lysande exempel på labor of love. Detta är deras första album tillsammans på 30 år, och deras versioner på Big Bill's klassiker är.....strålande. Rock, blues och allt däremellan med bröderna och deras kompetenta vänner!<br/><br/>Digipack.

Martin Fröst, clarinet<br/>Janine Jansen & Boris Brovtsyn, violins;<br/>Maxim Rysanov, viola; Torleif Thedéen, cello;<br/>Roland Pöntinen, piano<br/><br/>Johannes Brahms's Clarinet Quintet is core repertoire, not just for clarinettists but also in the entire chamber music genre. 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.
