Mozart: Ecstasy & Abyss

2CD
£14.99
Musical maverick Martin Fröst’s most ambitious Sony Classical release yet sees him as both clarinetist and conductor, joining soloists Lucas Debargue (piano), Ann Hallenberg (Mezzo-Soprano) and Elin Rombo (Soprano) and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, of which he is chief conductor, in a double-album of masterpieces capturing the paradox of Mozart’s fragile existence and extraordinary creativity.

Mozart: Ecstasy & Abyss was released in 2023 and includes Mozart's sublime Clarinet Concerto, his simmering Piano Concerto No. 25 (soloist Lucas Debargue) and his joyous Prague. This release marks Fröst's recorded debut as a conductor, while he directs the orchestra in his third recording of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto from the basset clarinet.
