“Wondrously played experimental works from a unique Danish talent” The Strad
In the veritable musical frenzy that struck Rued Langgaard (1893-1952) near the end of his life he composed several violin sonatas – a genre he had not paid much attention to since his early days. In this first in a series of three recordings presenting Langgaard’s complete works for violin and piano the award-winning violinist Gunvor Sihm and the Langgaard expert Berit Johansen Tange perform three late, incitingly Romantic works in addition to the unfinished sonata of Langgaard’s youth, which is given its world premiere recording.
