Re: Martin Fröst: “Retrotopia”

Martin is definitely a very talented player. His ability to play high frequency notes with color and character makes me reevaluate my belief that the higher notes of the clarinet are devoid of potential for color and character.
It would be nice to hear him play less technical music at a far slower pace within a narrower range of frequencies. Listening to a few of his videos really drove home why I don't like most classical music I have heard. Too many strings, too technical, too extreme in the rapid ride from high to low frequency. All too often it seems that the object of classical music was to convey a sense of superiority through technical extremism.
