Martin Fröst’s latest releases have featured core repertoire for his instrument from the 18th and 19th centuries, and most recently a disc of his wide-ranging encores. All of these offerings have been singularly well received by reviewers and record buyers alike, and have contributed to Fröst’s flourishing concert career.

On this disc, accompanied by the Australian Chamber Orchestra under Richard Tognetti, Fröst presents a wide-ranging selection of works all connected with dancing. The principal work on this disc is Copland’s Clarinet Concerto, and with special permission from the Copland Fund, the disc ends with the fireworks of the original and later revised, dazzling ending of the Concerto.

Fröst also includes on this disc works by Lutoslawski, Anders Hillborg and Piazzolla, as well as an arrangement of Brahms’ Four Hungarian Dances arranged by his brother, Göran.

“His virtuosity lies in his exceptional dexterity and agility…and in his daring control of the instrument’s dynamic and expressive extremes.” The Times

“almost every piece is a novelty in Martin Fröst's dance-themed programme...This partnership of soloists and orchestra is an inspired one, not least in the smaller-scale pieces...There is a quirky and highly personal essay in lieu of booklet-note from Fröst himself.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2012

“No point in pulling my punches: this is a wonderful disc. The playing is superb, and these dance-inspired pieces will put a skip in your own step...It's obvious that Frost and his Australian colleagues must have had enormous fun recording this programme and their enjoyment bubbles through at every turn. Frost's virtuosity is a delight in its own right, but it's deployed in the service of unquenchable good humour.” International Record Review, February 2012

“Performed in both the original and revised versions, Copland's hot, slick Clarinet Concerto bookends a programme that incorporates waltz, schmaltz, tango and klezmer. Not all of it works. Brahms's Hungarian Dances are downgraded to vehicle status as a showcase for Fröst's dexterity. But elsewhere (Piazzola, Hillborg, Högberg) soloist and orchestra sizzle.” The Independent on Sunday, 8th January 2012 ****

Duo Lechner Tiempo (Karin Lechner & Sergio Tiempo)

SACD + DVD

Described by Gramophone as “a formidable Duo”, celebrated South-Americans virtuosi Karin Lechner and Sergio Tiempo invite you to discover Tango Rhapsody, their exciting new recording for Avanticlassic.

For this project, the Duo Lechner Tiempo selected eight Tango pieces that were specially arranged or composed for them by the most famous Argentinian composers.

You will find such beloved pieces as ‘La Muerte Del Angeli', 'Adios Noninoi' and 'The Secret in Their Eyes' - the music theme from the Oscar winner movie 'El secreto de sus ojos'. An extemely talented duo, you can see them in action on YouTube.

“dazzlingly executed, as one would expect...playing directly on the strings, clapping the music stands, stamping and so on.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013

“The main attraction here is Federico Jusid’s three-movement Tango Rhapsody, a dazzler of a showpiece accentuating the tango’s potential for conflict between partners...There’s not a wasted second in the work’s 18 minutes, the mood alternating between sweaty noir and exultant aggression. Possibly a modern masterpiece...Unmissable – the most enjoyable disc I’ve heard so far this year.” The Arts Desk, 23rd February 2013

Håkan Hardenberger has earned a reputation of breaking new ground for the trumpet, commissioning works from the world’s foremost composers.

On this disc, he shows a different side to himself in arrangements of his favourite songs and film themes.

Hardenberger is joined by his long-standing collaborators: the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and the pianist Roland Pöntinen, who also has orchestrated several of the arrangements.

“Hardenberger is often rhythmically too straitlaced for this material. Still, we can admire his smoky flugelhorn tone and deft high passagework on muted trumpet. And the selection, from My Funny Valentine to The Godfather theme, is enjoyable schmaltz.” The Times, 10th March 2012 ***
