Watch Hannu's video interview in which he discusses this programme with Irish Times Music Critic Michael Dervan.
And what about Martin Fröst who says 'I'm scared sometimes - it doesn't have to be comfortable' in his Irish Times interview on Wednesday 21 September. Read the full interview.
Beethoven's opening bars in Symphony No. 5 must be the most famous in all music. What an astonishing journey and blazing musical triumph over adversity. Mime is as much a part of clarinettist Martin Fröst's performance as his music-making. He explores a world of extreme dualities tonight - small-town to big-city Copland; chameleon-like music concealing and revealing in Hillborg's wry workout. Yes, workout: masked and twisting himself in knots - Fröst makes for great listening and enthralling viewing. Read what Hannu says
