[ Sony Classical / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 20 May 2022
Gramophone Award-nominated artist Martin Fröst uses every recording as an opportunity to look at repertoire and performance through fresh eyes. His latest album for Sony Classical brings the extraordinary alchemy of a specially formed ensemble to the public with highly original arrangements for the first time on record. With acclaimed pianist Roland Pöntinen and legendary bassist Sébastien Dubé, Fröst's new album Night Passages charts a nocturnal journey through the mystical and the melancholic, the playful and the profound. Reimagining favourites from the Baroque, while touching on jazz and folk music the album's atmosphere carries with it the vibe of late-night improvisation and deep conversation between friends. From Rameau to Richard Rodgers, it invites listeners to eavesdrop on a musical union.
