My favorite music performance of all time. I dare say it cannot get any better than this. The loneliness, the madness, the folly, the delicacy is so well done in this piece. I felt it all. So well done.
Mankind at its best . It doesn't get any better than these musicians playing so well together . If the world could live in harmony, like this performance is ,.....then planet earth would be a ultra harmonious place to live .
Among the numerous exceptional qualities of this rendition is the nuanced and well rehearsed quality of the orchestra. I hear lines and colour in this rendition that are vacant in other recordings. And, the integration of soloist and orchestra is sublime. Bravo!
Bravi tutti! To play such a difficult piece without a conductor is a testament to their wonderful musicianship, and how much they are all listening to each other.
Great recording. If only there weren't three ads in the middle of the piece. Why can't RUclips just give me three unskippable ads before the video starts? They get the same amount of money without messing up my music.
My nostalgia is kicked up when I listen to this. I think that I heard this concerto as a young child, perhaps as the soundtrack to a Saturday afternoon TV program (back when there was quality programming for young people). That early exposure has served me well in my adult life.
If all the world could learn to live in harmony like this orchestra plays together,…then every one would be more compassionate and caring, and our planet would have a far better environment for everything to exist in. I never grow tired of this piece. Bravo ! !
This piece never ceases to amaze me, and move me at the same time. One of the best performances of all time too. Tighter than Copland and Goodman's take
Copland is amazing, and this performance is great. I've spent the evening listening to a number of pieces by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. Really fine!
Fröst is a master, and his tone has improved a ton over the last five years, but I wish he'd slow down during his unaccompanied cadenza bit and sing out a bit more. His playing is gorgeous and right on the mark when the rest of the orchestra comes back in, though. Plaintive and curious, subdued yet bridling with joy, just the way it should be. Nobody does altissimo like he does, though. So rounded and smooth, not an ounce of force.
I get the impression that he's still searching for what he wants the cadenza to be. It feels to me like he's trying out different things, some which work and some which don't quite work. It'll be interesting to see where he goes with it in the future. In the meantime, the person for me who got the cadenza absolutely right is Stoltzman. I play a lot of big band jazz, swing (doing a Benny Goodman feature concert in March), and Stoltzman's interpretation makes sense to me in that context.
That added fall at 11:15 was absolutely beautiful and sent a chill down my spine! I’m going to ask my instructor if I can do that too because this is the only person I’ve heard do that. It was a small thing but added so much FLAVOR. Also I love the energy going on on stage. And the way he seem less let jumps to the altissimo range like it’s nothing? Beautiful
This is an awesome performance. Everyone seems to be having fun! It is easy to get carried away in this piece and the result is ugly. Martin plays beautiful through out with lightness and bounce. A lot of jazz like sounds contained within a classical expression.
I am extremely amazed at how well you keep your air pressure within the body perfectly controlled. I am even more impressed with the multiple levels of complexity I am seeing you have achieved and perfected with your many circular breathing techniques. I understand why you do so many of them, but at the same time you are the first and only person I have ever seen take circular breathing to such complex heights. I sure hope to one day meet you and maybe make a big enough mark that you'd be willing to do a professional 4K cinema "Story Virtuoso Classical Music Video". I have not named my series yet, but I am quite sure you'd like what I am going to be producing. Keep up the great work Mr. Frost and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra!
So here I was right in the best part of this gorgeous piece of music ,... and it breaks for a ad at twice the volume ! Talk about pulling me out of the moment and ramming it down my throat ! You really think I would buy your produce after that ? This is the best performance I've seen here in a long long time aside from RUclips placing ads in the middle . Do it at the beginning if you must
No, no, I think the 114 dislikes are more pure classical elitists who think this and Gershwin's/Bernstein's classical pieces for that matter are utter travesties - which they clearly are not, if people like Ravel and Stravinsky indicated anything.
Hector Salamanca well if you are smart (which clearly you are not) then you would understand, appreciate and agree with or disagree with these kinds of comments. But since you are not smart, I suppose you would not be able to understand.
We have to listen to this for DLD for band and I thought I would hate doing this and I have put it off for as long as possible but now I'm mad at myself for putting it off... It's so beautiful.
I fully realize that everyone has their own opinion. This fact seems to be especially true when it comes to art. Either painting, sculpting, composing, poetry, and so on down the line. For me, just me personally, if I am exposed to someone's art, and it actually moves me, then, I have no choice but to admire it, to love it, and I seek to re-expose myself to that particular piece so that I can once again feel that "feeling" I had when I first saw it or heard it. There are many, many composers that have captured my heart, and this piece by Copland, completely melts my heart. The fact that he wanted Benny Goodman to perform this, is the icing on the cake. Here are a few others that "move me", they are seriously worth the listen! If you have any feeling at all, if you have ever loved, or simply felt pure joy, then these are some pieces that will stir up your emotions and capture your heart. (1) Samuel Barber - Listen to his "Adagio For Strings". Preferably the Leonard Slatkin version - ruclips.net/video/vLODynfFu8M/видео.html also you really need to hear, his "Concerto For Violin and Orchestra", OMG this is essential! You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/CveX2LjVaw0/видео.html and last but certainly not least, you may enjoy the fun romp Barber has with this crazy masterpiece which was his first composition for a full orchestra while he was still in school at the Curtis Institute Of Music in 1931. Definitely one of my very favorites. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/Q387-LXIHUA/видео.html .. OK ... I have a million others, but I would be here all night with great effort trying to "move you". Enjoy and peace be with you!!
Copland is a brilliant composer, he is capable to capture a moment, and to capture the audience's attention. Amazing, there are only few composer who truly do that to a live audience. I remember sitting enchanted in the first time I heard "Appalachian Spring". Underestimated in my opinion and not preformed enough. All his works are interesting , lively and exciting
I like this so much better than when the music is dominated by a conductor. This seems to grow from organic relationships between all the players. Bravo!
A greater contrast could hardly be imagined between that of the languorously gorgeous opening movement and the impishly humorous (and fiendishly difficult) finale of Copland's Clarinet Concerto. It almost makes me wish he had written a fairly traditional opening movement to complement them and give a greater sense of completeness. Okay, I'm quibbling and second-guessing a great composer who gave us this great work. My bad!
In my experience, it's muscle memory, E.G. intensive rehearsal. You just play it so much that your fingers keep moving in the same order and you no longer need sheet music to recall how to move your fingers. Works pretty quickly on 1-page music, like say...a high school marching band show, at least for each part individually. 19-page music is a lot harder to say "start at measure 348" unless you give the performers an idea of where the melody is and what sounds there are - in which case the memory simply picks up where it left off. I mean, I'm no professional, but I'm no slouch either. Maybe this guy does have a photographic memory.
+ispeak4detrees As a piano player, I don't get why a single line would be so hard. Though I don't think playing from memory is such a great thing. I prefer to have the composer's intentions right in front of me so I don't have to rely on my memory of those.
Not me. Being free from the printed page allows you to concentrate on making music not focusing on the paper in front of you. Memorizing is not really a "thing'. Usually by the time you have the piece in your fingers, muscles, and brain it'memorized, merely from practicing the piece
It's like entering a room in your house and not having to think about where the light switch is. Except it's a thousand rooms with a thousand light switches, all placed in different spots.
How wonderful copland is. Why no violin or cello concerto .I must find a bio of him .I adore his piano variations .the passacaglia will take more time . His 3rd symph is magisterial !
I like how Copland manages to write modern classical music that piques my interest, rather than raising my blood pressure as others do. It's possible to be original without being grating.
My favorite music performance of all time. I dare say it cannot get any better than this. The loneliness, the madness, the folly, the delicacy is so well done in this piece. I felt it all. So well done.
Agree
Mankind at its best . It doesn't get any better than these musicians playing so well together . If the world could live in harmony, like this performance is ,.....then planet earth would be a ultra harmonious place to live .
I totally agree. Music is considered a Universal Language. ❤❤❤🎼🎵🎶🌈
Loving that little interaction between the cello players at 8:09 to 8:12, as one of them hits the board.
That's me (clarinet) and my side kick (oboe) at every performance 😂😂
Obviously she did not know this is the Flamenco version.
This man knows what music is.
YES!
Mr Frost strikes me as something of a rock star of the clarinet!
Among the numerous exceptional qualities of this rendition is the nuanced and well rehearsed quality of the orchestra. I hear lines and colour in this rendition that are vacant in other recordings. And, the integration of soloist and orchestra is sublime. Bravo!
One of the best Coopland Concerts. Martin Frost and Orchestra are awesome in general. Thanks for share.
Lm bm
One of my favorite pieces, for sure, especially the slow movement. Martin's sound control is exquisite.
Bravi tutti! To play such a difficult piece without a conductor is a testament to their wonderful musicianship, and how much they are all listening to each other.
He really do be grooving
This orchestra rules, good technique, good recording mixing too!
Great recording. If only there weren't three ads in the middle of the piece.
Why can't RUclips just give me three unskippable ads before the video starts? They get the same amount of money without messing up my music.
Ads should be banned from classical music videos tbh
@@justinhuynh1360 LINT MOBILE JUST SENT ME THESES BATTERY PACKS
ADblock ?
It's not RUclips who puts ads on the video. The channel made the choice to stab three ads into the video.
@@alansun697 you don't know that. They have to option to do so but I doubt they would've, it's probably RUclips.
What a thrilling piece this is. Great Clarinet, great Orchestra and great Copland. Magnificent.
How privileged we are to hear.......and see this piece, and the orchestra at work. Beautiful.
Did not know there was a full version of the Copland concerto by Martin Fröst. Thank you for uploading!
This performance was absolutely... other than that, I truly have no words for this. Other than it was simply immaculate!! ❤🎉🎉🎉
My nostalgia is kicked up when I listen to this. I think that I heard this concerto as a young child, perhaps as the soundtrack to a Saturday afternoon TV program (back when there was quality programming for young people). That early exposure has served me well in my adult life.
Amazing playing from soloist and orchestra. More Copland, please!
Чудесно, прекрасно,изысканно!!!!
If all the world could learn to live in harmony like this orchestra plays together,…then every one would be more compassionate and caring, and our planet would have a far better environment for everything to exist in. I never grow tired of this piece. Bravo ! !
Great music and a truly virtuoso performance by Martin Fröst, and all credit to the rest of the orchestra - brilliant!
+Eric Toogood Agreed. My goodness! What an extraordinary piece, and such a brilliant performance.
one of the best cadenzas of all time
This piece never ceases to amaze me, and move me at the same time.
One of the best performances of all time too. Tighter than Copland and Goodman's take
@@squarebodychevyoverhauls6982 agreed!
Amazing. So much control and a beautiful sound. Bravo.
they are having fun with the music as well as deeply feeling the beginning parts! i love this!
Copland is amazing, and this performance is great. I've spent the evening listening to a number of pieces by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. Really fine!
Frost is wonderful, as always.
When is he ever not?

Thank you for this gorgeous performance and unique video!
This performance complements the genius of the music! Simply breath taking!! Thanks for such an unsurpassed render.

I agree about the cadenza... didn't give it time to develop, just jumped in full speed... otherwise, brilliant playing!
I agree with the other two replies about the cadenza. I was going to remark about it but see it has already been done.
I get the impression that he's still searching for what he wants the cadenza to be. It feels to me like he's trying out different things, some which work and some which don't quite work. It'll be interesting to see where he goes with it in the future. In the meantime, the person for me who got the cadenza absolutely right is Stoltzman.

just do it!!!!!!
Such unfulfillable longing. This is beautifully done. Excellent camera work. BRAVO !
Thanks for posting this. I love the understated expressiveness of the clarinet.
This is an awesome performance. Everyone seems to be having fun!
It is easy to get carried away in this piece and the result is ugly.
Martin plays beautiful through out with lightness and bounce.
A lot of jazz like sounds contained within a classical expression.

"Multiple levels of complexity" - Compliments, that's really schmockissimo.
Very difficult to control breath and keep intonation
So I commend this.
@@francissadleir9805 Martin has way more crazy stuff than this amazing performance too
I wish I could play those altissimo notes in tune like him, holy crap he's amazing!!
So... go practice :D
@@jesusberdonces2000 indeed!
Amazing Clarinetist !
Well Done ! What control Martin FROST!
One of My favorite music :)
Monday morning Copland for me every week, lovely.
This is so beautiful!
love the face of the concertino at the begining, he is enjoying it!
okay face of concertino in 6:55 is way too better
A beautifully filmed performance of a beautiful and delightful piece.
So here I was right in the best part of this gorgeous piece of music ,... and it breaks for a ad at twice the volume ! Talk about pulling me out of the moment and ramming it down my throat !

I was playing a long practicing this piece and I was getting into it and the ad just ruined it haha
Perhaps the best Clarinetist certainly the most versatile Clarinetist. Don’t be jealous Clarinetist’s it’s about time we had a real star.
The 153 dislikes on this video were jealous Saxophonists.
cmon man im a saxophonist and I liked it...
SDGaming11 pfft ok, excpetion count: 1
No, no, I think the 114 dislikes are more pure classical elitists who think this and Gershwin's/Bernstein's classical pieces for that matter are utter travesties - which they clearly are not, if people like Ravel and Stravinsky indicated anything.
Or just classic music haters
I am saxophonist and he is my favorite musician
I like the contrast between the meditative supplication of the first part and the Stravinskian impishness of the second.
yo hector
yo hector, calm down:)
Hector, are you saying opinions have no place in a comment section? how ironic.
Hector Salamanca well if you are smart (which clearly you are not) then you would understand, appreciate and agree with or disagree with these kinds of comments. But since you are not smart, I suppose you would not be able to understand.
I enjoyed and appreciated MrAkihiros's comment. So there!
We have to listen to this for DLD for band and I thought I would hate doing this and I have put it off for as long as possible but now I'm mad at myself for putting it off... It's so beautiful.

Oh, yes! And I like the way the orchestra is mostly standing and close in to the soloist - makes for a certain intimacy.
Beautiful "Clarinet-Bubbles". Thank you. Kind regards OK-Dreamband.
