For this album, Frølund selected and perfected a program of works written within the last 100 years. 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 Bb 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Clarinet Concerto, Op. 57, FS 129: Cadenza [02:04] \u003cbr\u003e1.2 I. — [01:43] \u003cbr\u003e1.3 II. — [01:14] \u003cbr\u003e1.4 III. — [01:21] \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Lontanamente Fragments of a Waltz [06:04] \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Alone [11:09] \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time): III.
