'Such soft tones are seldom heard, such stealthy, imperceptible crescendi from absolute silence, such chiselled accentuation, all with a generously flowing musicality.' (Serge Gregory, Repertoire, Paris) 'His solo in Messiaen plays for the abyss of time. Fröst hit the tone of eternity, the transition between silence and sonority.." (Olaf Weiden, Kölnishe Rundschau) 'Such soft tones are seldom heard, such stealthy, imperceptible crescendi from absolute silence, such chiselled accentuation, all with a generously flowing musicality.' (Serge Gregory, Repertoire, Paris 2004) BBC Symphony orchestra /Fröst/Brabbins. "....phenomenal clarinetist....Everything came together in Carl Nielsen´s Clarinet Concerto.... The contrast with Fröst and his flowing tone, warm, silky and never unpleasant ...., was fierce. Above all, the Swede had the instrument under perfect control from the full depth up to the softest high notes.... Phenomenal."
