A calendar filled with orchestral concerts and chamber recitals in many of the world’s most prestigious venues has given the clarinettist Martin Fröst ample opportunity to develop a wide range of encores, for every occasion.  Known for the imaginatively themed concert programmes he devises with various musician friends, he has also explored a number of musical genres. These aspects of his artistry are both demonstrated on this constantly engaging disc, which includes immortal gems such as Rachmaninov’s Vocalise and Kreisler’s Liebeslied as well as pieces rather less usual in a classical context: Charlie Chaplin’s Smile and the klezmer traditional Let’s Be Happy rubbing shoulders with an improvisation over the Nat King Cole standard Nature Boy. Throughout the programme Fröst receives the expert support of the pianist Roland Pöntinen, a chamber music partner of long standing who has also been involved in devising many of the imaginative arrangements, for instance of Vittorio Monti’s Csárdás. Three other musical companions of Fröst’s make cameo appearances, with mezzo-soprano Malena Ernman joining the clarinet in the head-long flight of not one, but two bumble-bees.  Torleif Thedéen’s cello sings a heartfelt Ave Maria above the gyrating accompaniment of Fröst’s clarinet, while Svante Henryson, also a cellist, plays in his own duo piece Off Pist, in which the clarinet and cello chase each other up and down alpine slopes. Martin Fröst’s spectacular career on disc began in 1995, with one of his first CD reviews, in In Tune Magazine, describing him as ‘A Swedish Clarinet Star’, and continuing ‘Fröst has everything – including genius’. More than 10 discs later his recording of Bernard Crusell’s three clarinet concertos caused the reviewer in French Classica-Répertoire to remark that ‘in every movement his playing hits upon the appropriate elegance, the perfect phrasing, the true colour, the required virtuosity, the necessary playfulness ... as he pursues his musical intentions all the way’ – a description that could equally well be applied to the present disc!.

18th-century Europe has been a period of production of a huge amount of instrumental chamber music particularly fashioned to the delight and entertainment of the society's upper classes. In the Rococo, especially the rising bourgeoisie was familiar enough with the language of music to be both consumers and active participants, with an ever-growing demand for musical novelty for their entertainment in private salons. The thriving market in chamber-music part-sets for domestic use (a score was considered unnecessary) was served by many professional musicians who worked outside the traditional spheres, as have been the church or the theatre. These interpreters-composers were chiefly violinists, but also flautists and oboists, often leading an itinerant life throughout Europe.The Pla brothers belonged to this kind of itinerant virtuosos: born into a Catalan family of musicians, they were excellent oboists, but played other instruments as well, and composed. Manuel Pla, known to have played also violin and harpsichord, established himself in Madrid as a military musician and theatre composer, probably remaining there until his death in 1766. Josep and Joan Baptista plied their trade outside Spain, as chamber music enjoyed limited popularity in their home country. From about 1751 they toured the courts and concert halls of the main European capitals, performing together. Apparently, the two brothers composed most of their sonatas together. After Josep's death in 1762, Joan Baptista continued alone, as oboist, bassoonist and dulcimer virtuoso, settling at the court in Lisbon from 1769 until his death in 1773. Being famous for the sweetnes and the brilliance of their playing, they were celebrated wherever they appeared. Nowadays, their music is still relatively unknown and very few of their works have been edited, performed or recorded. Almost hundred orchestral and chamber works by the Pla brothers survive in manuscript copies or old printed editions and there are references in various catalogues by 18th-century editors, of many others, which are still to be discovered.
