"The Beethoven concerto is a piece of overwhelming power," says violinist Vilde Frang. "It is somehow more than music - its dimension feels almost cosmic. The effect of this concerto surprises me over and over again." As a teenager, the star Norwegian violinist had felt intimidated by the piece, but in 2021, after a London performance, a Times critic exulted, "...such grace, delicacy and dexterity that I was enchanted." Now Vilde Frang has recorded the powerful work and contrasts it on the album with a Stravinsky violin concerto.
