Jonas Frolund (clarinet, basset clarinet, bass clarinet, percussion)About
When planning this album, Frølund had three goals in mind – to present himself as a musician with a distinctive vision; to present the clarinet “family” from treble to bass, starting with the familiar concert instruments in B flat and A to the alto (basset) and the bass; and, finally, to present all of the above in music written during a century of New Music, spanning from immediately after WW1 to literally a few months before the recordings took place in June 2021… that is, with one exception: a certain perennially “new” woodwind solo from a mid-19th century German opera that many observers regard as the mother of all Modern Music – Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. All the music presented on this album is played on a solo clarinet … again, with one exception: in the De Profundis by Simon Steen-Andersen, where the soloist multitasks on a number of percussion instruments as well.
Frølund studied at The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen and at the Conservatoire de Paris and is in high demand as a soloist and chamber musician. He is co-founder of the prize-winning wind quintet V Coloris, and is currently principal clarinet of the Danish Chamber Orchestra under Adam Fischer. In 2021 he took the clarinet world by storm at the international ClarinetFest in a performance described as “electrifying,” leaving the audience wanting more – and his performance of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra was featured on the BBC Radio 3 Afternoon Concert.
Recorded in the DXD audio by one of Denmark’s most distinguished audio masters, Mette Due.
