Synopsis

Album Description

EMI Classics is pleased to announce the signing of Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang. Her first recording features the Sibelius Violin Concerto and three Humoresques and Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1, recorded live with the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln and conductor Thomas Søndergård. Vilde's debut recording for EMI Classics is a WDR co-production with support from the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. Stephen Johns, Vice President of A&R, EMI Classics, said, "Vilde Frang is a brilliant young violinist and a protégée of Anne Sophie Mutter. It was Vilde's performance of the Sibelius Violin Concerto that first caught our attention. Her special and unique voice, coupled with playing of great fervour and depth, promises a brilliant debut disc."

CD Reviews

Impressive Debut

Classics Lover | 02/10/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"What a spectacular find! Vilde Frang is a refined and an incredibly polished player. This recording, which I think is her debut, is solid. The album features recordings from Jean Sibelius and Sergei Prokofiev. The standout tracks were the three elusive Sibelius miniatures. Vilde's tone and expressivity was spot on and translated through the recording - something very hard to do being this her first CD. I recommend this album to anyone who appreciates true musicianship and expert violin playing."
