Martin Fröst is one of the most dynamic and respected clarinetists on the international classical music scene today. Born in Sweden, Fröst has developed a reputation for being a performer of incredible versatility and depth. His approach to the clarinet transcends traditional expectations, as he continually pushes the boundaries of the instrument through both his exquisite classical interpretations and his commitment to contemporary music.

Fröst's discography reveals not only a deep connection with classical masters such as Mozart, as shown in his albums "Mozart: Ecstasy & Abyss [LEIPZIG, 1789]" and "[PRAGUE, 1791]," but also an equal enthusiasm for contemporary works, including his collaborations with Jesper Nordin and Anders Hillborg. His recording of Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin du temps" underscores his sensitivity to nuanced and emotionally charged compositions. With projects like "Roots," which explore the influences of folk music on the classical genre, and performances of modernist pieces like "Nordic Concertos," Martin Fröst demonstrates his commitment to exploring the full spectrum of clarinet music, championing both its history and its evolution. His technical brilliance and expressive performances have firmly established him as a luminary in the world of classical music.
