Vivaldi Martin Frost
) | Label: SONY CLASSICAL Catalog: 19075929912 Format: CD Martin Fröst and Concerto KölnMartin Fröst’s new album is a baroque adventure based on the question: What might Vivaldi have composed for the clarinet if it had been more fully developed? For this recording three clarinet concertos have been newly composed, made up of music drawn from Vivaldi’s most beautiful opera and oratorio arias. Martin Fröst and Concerto Köln create a wonderful symbiosis between the old and the new.TRACKLISTAntonio Vivaldi 1678–1741Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra No. 1 in B-flat major “Sant’ Angelo”1 I Allegro after the Aria “Lo seguitai felice” from L’Olimpiade RV 725 2 II Adagio after the Aria “Mentre dormi, Amor fomenti” from L’Olimpiade RV 725 3 III Molto Allegro after the Aria “Gelosia” from Ottone in villa RV 7294–6 Sinfonia in C major from Il Giustino RV 717Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra No. 2 “La Fenice”7 I Allegro molto after the Aria “Alma opressa” from La fida ninfa RV 714 8 II Adagio after the Aria “Vedrò con mio diletto” from Il Giustino RV 717 9 III Allegro vivace after the Aria “Armatae face” from Juditha triumphans RV 64410–12 Sinfonia in C major from L’Olimpiade RV 725Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra No. 3 in F major “Il Mezzetino”13 I Andante after the Aria “Sento in seno” from Il Giustino RV 717 14 II Allegro after the Aria “Quamvis ferro” from Juditha triumphans RV 644 15 III Andante after the Aria “Sento in seno” from Il Giustino RV 717 16 IV Allegro after the Aria “L’Innocenza sfortunata” from Tieteberga RV 737 17 Air for Chalumeau “La Tortora” after the Aria “Veni, veni, me sequere fida” from Juditha triumphans RV 644Martin Fröst clarinetConcerto KölnConcertos and Air arranged by Andreas N.
