Awards and reviews
February 2014
Fröst's approach to Mozart's masterly Concerto is nothing if not stylish...It's all as precise and precious as a piece of Dresden china, and, as that suggests, perhaps a bit bloodless...In Robert Levin's convincing completion, [the Allegro] makes a fascinating conclusion to an immaculately played and beautifully recorded disc.
December 2013
With his smooth, liquid tone, Fröst is always sensitive to the music's melancholy undertow, bending the pulse in response to shadowing of the harmony. His discreet added embellishments and inventive 'leads-in' always sound spontaneous
27th October 2013
[Fröst] remains one of [the Quintet's] supreme interpreters...[The Allegro is] a shaving from the master’s workbench, but the concerto and trio are pure joy from first to last.
17th October 2013
[Fröst's] performance has great suavity and fluency...[but] it's all too beautifully manicured...Fröst's partners [in the Allegro] include violinist Janine Jansen and viola player Maxim Rysanov: a stellar lineup for a work that's a historical footnote.
