Orchestre National de France, conducted by the excellent American conductor David Zinnam.

The inspiring numbers for the clarinet soloist with orchestre, were Preludes de dance for clarinet og orkester, a demanding work in 5 pieces. Martin Frøst elegantly forming of these five pieces by Witold Lutoslawsky was brilliant, nearly like in a chamber music way. In good cooperation with the soloists in many parts of the orchestra, how the clarinet solist. It is extraordinary to listen to how elegantly Marin Frøst is building up his tunes from the nearly not hearbar pianissimo, starting from O contrasting hold back to the marcant march rhytmic part in the orchestra, which gives extraordinary effects.

In the Concerto for clarinet and orchestra by Aaron Copland we heard an other kind of composer, with another kind of musical mood. Copland sounds to me to be an ideal composer for Martin Frøst´sexpressive talent, as this melodic mood, but still on an extraordinary way, and not sounding like any European composer. Wonderful  cadenza with 1000 different variations of how to form the tunes from a clarinet, even with swinging and jazz inspired moods, gave us an extraordinary feeling. I can´t remember when I have heard such an inspiring and musically clarinet soloist.

It seems that the orchestra and the conductor David Zinman had a good experience too. The conductor was splending in following the soloists and opposite. A good program choise.

All the was framed interesting. Starting with Béla Bartok´Hungarian pictures, 5 pieces with national romantic atmosphaere, where he took us in to his countryside giving us a good atmosphaere presenting small histories or “painting” a musically picture for us all, from the country. It was delicious to listenhow the conductor build up the details in the orchestra, inclusive many small delicious details, for eksempel, when the carinet is holding one tune, and then the obo is taking over the same tune, but because of the different of the two instruments, this little detail completely changes the atmosphaere. elegantly. A great pleasure.

After the break we got Antonin Dvorak “highlight symphony” To the New World, his number symphony no 9. WHich the orchestra under David Zinman formed absolutely wonderful. It started with a good energetic again national romantic details, In the second part we did enjoy the English horn solo, which is leading the way, and also during the part deliciouse small chambermusically parts between the soloists in the strings
.

A very good evening. Which was directly broadcasted in the radio at France Music, and through the European Radio and Tv nettwork also will be broadcasted in many other European countryes.
