With Concerto Köln, the clarinet virtuoso presents an all-Vivaldi album including premiere recordings of ‘new’ clarinet concertos drawn from Vivaldi’s catalogue of opera and oratorio arias. Vivaldi only just lived to see the emergence of the clarinet, using it in five pieces. The Italian composer was well aware of the brilliant, virtuosic capabilities of the instrument with its roots in the trumpet-like ‘clarino’, and of the mellow soulfulness of that instrument’s predecessor, the ‘chalumeau’. On this album, Fröst imagines what Vivaldi might have done had he lived long enough to know the clarinet better. Fröst uses a specially built boxwood instrument to get as close as possible to the sound of the best 18th-century clarinets Vivaldi knew without forgoing the technical capabilities of its modern descendants.
