"...  Martin Fröst is as fine a clarinettist as anyone alive today, and he teams up with two equally superb colleagues in presenting exceptional performances of these three chestnuts of the chamber-music-with-winds repertoire."

Chamber Choice

"... In the two sonatas, [Fröst] is perfectly matched by his compatriot Roland Pöntinen in performances which capture Brahms’serious, autumnal mood without undue heaviness: the way they drift with apparently telepatic understanding through the opening of the E flat Sonata is especially memorable, but entirely characteristic."

CD of the Week

"... [Fröst’s] smooth, even tone is deliciously seductive, and he can darken or lighten the sound at will, from velvet warmth with a sensitively applied vibrato, to a soaring clarity that never goes louder than lovely, as they say I could write more, but if you’ll excuse me, I’d rather like to be seduced all over again."
