Elgar: Violin Concerto (Vilde Frang)

Vilde Frang with Elgar's "symphonic" violin concerto "Not only did Frang treat the virtuoso demands as if they were barely there," said The Guardian in admiration of Vilde Frang's performance of Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto. "Her extraordinarily beautiful tone, too, seemed to honor the source of Elgar's inspiration with a startling immediacy." It was just one of many euphoric reviews of the performances. Now the Norwegian violinist is releasing the powerful-sounding work as a recording with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Robin Ticciati.
