Den skånska sångerskan Iris Bergcrantz röst har beskrivits som känslofull, klangrik och vacker. Till albumet "Trasighet och fransar" har hon valt ut sina favoritkompositioner av Olle Adolphson. Slutresultatet är en perfekt kombination av hennes personliga röst och Olle Adolphsons unika sångskatt, i storslagna arrangemang med både stråkar och blås.<br/><br/>"Iris Bergcrantz griper tag i lyssnaren med sin starka känsla. Mest av allt tycks hon utgå från en känsla. Hon gör det i varje givet stycke och utan att egentligen bekänna sig till någon särskild genre. Det faller tillbaka på ett förhållande till musiken och till texterna som kanske närmast påminner om principen med blues. När det griper tag om lyssnaren blir uttrycket större än ramverket, och lyfter i sin tur allt runt omkring" (Johannes Cornell, Dagens Nyheter)<br/><br/>Iris Bergcrantz -vocal<br/>Calle Brickman - piano<br/>Anders Fjeldsted - double bass<br/>Andreas Fryland - drums<br/><br/>Andrs Bergcrantz - trumpet<br/>Jasmin Gomaa - horn<br/>Maria Bergström - Violin<br/>Samuel Lundström - Violin<br/>Elina Nygren - Viola<br/>Johanna Hydén - Cello

As such, it has been on Martin Fröst's 'to-be-recorded list' for a long time, and when he gathered a dream-team of string players for a concert in Stockholm in February 2013, it was the perfect opportunity for BIS to organize a recording session. Brahms's Quintet was written in 1891 by a composer who only a year previously had renounced composing, but whose creative urge had been reawakened by his encounter with the leading clarinettist of the time, Richard Mühlfeld. Some 120 years later, Fröst - one of today's most highly regarded musicians and the recipient of the 2014 Sonning Prize - steps into Mühlfeld's shoes, in the company of Janine Jansen, Boris Brovtsyn, Maxim Rysanov and Torleif Thedéen. As a complement to this substantial work - with a duration of almost 35 minutes - Martin Fröst has transcribed six much-loved songs by Brahms, performing them with his chamber music partner of long standing, the eminent pianist Roland Pöntinen. The songs, composed between 1866-1886, range from high lyricism (Die Mainacht) to bitter-sweet nostalgia (Wie Melodien...), via the humourous Vergebliches Ständchen. To these new recordings has been added a substantial 'bonus' - Martin Fröst's performance with Pöntinen and Thedéen of the Trio for clarinet, cello and piano, which Brahms composed for Mühlfeld in the same year as the quintet. Originally released in 2005, the recording of the Trio received a warm welcome, including an Editor's Choice in Gramophone, as well as a 'Disc of the Month' on website ClassicsToday.com.
