    In her third release for EMI Classics the energetic young Norwegian violinist continues the idea of Nordic and Russian concerto pairings established with Sibelius and Prokofiev Concertos on her first album. Here the famous romance of Tchaikovsky’s well-loved violin concerto and Scandinavian poise and unique colouring of Nielsen’s concerto are presented in a rare coupling together on disc.

    Danish composer Carl Nielsen wrote his violin concerto during the summer of 1911, in a small Norwegian lakeside hut belonging to fellow composer Edvard Grieg. The concerto is very close to Vilde’s heart, being written in her homeland Norway and premiered in Scandinavia by Danish violinist Peder Møller and the Royal Danish Orchestra. It is a work she is very keen to record and champion. The concerto is unashamedly developed around enticing melodies, giving it a delicacy and simplicity and conjuring up that sense of spaciousness which is so much a part of Scandinavia’s musical and physical landscape.

    Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto needs little introduction and is perhaps the most famous of all violin compositions. It is also regarded as one of the most technically difficult pieces in the repertoire and so is a brilliant showcase for Vilde’s hugely assured virtuosity.

    Vilde recorded her debut album with EMI at the age of 22. The recording of Violin Concertos by Sibelius and Prokofiev released in January 2010 was enthusiastically reviewed “rarely has this music sounded so tender, so intimate or so lyrical” (Financial Times) and Independent Record Review called her “prodigiously gifted”. The disc won Best Classical Release at the Norwegian Grammy Awards.

    She has been compared to a young Anne-Sophie Mutter, with whom she often performs.

    Composer: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Carl Nielsen
    Performer: Vilde Frang
    Conductor: Eivind Gullberg Jensen
    Orchestra/Ensemble: Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra

    Reviews: The young Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang makes her soloist’s entry in the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in a way that sounds almost tentative in its first few notes, and she returns to that manner occasionally. But her general manner isn’t at all tentative; it incorporates moments of respite in a highly individual account of this stormy movement. Eivind Gulberg Jensen and the orchestra also nourish the individual, most prominently, perhaps, in adopting flexible tempi and whipping up excitement by accelerating here and there in the tuttis. Frang’s reading of the cadenza features liquid arpeggiated passagework as silvery as those in performances of his own works by composer-violinist Pablo Sarasate. In fact, Frang recalls the older violinists of the golden age, but the overall effect is refreshing rather than nostalgic, and natural rather than mannered. The engineers have placed their soloist somewhat closer to the orchestra than Isaac Stern might have preferred in his own recordings. But though Frang breathes a warm sensibility from this rather recessive placement, she’s capable of electric excitement, too, as in the movement’s coda (until, that is, she slows down dramatically for the cadential chords). Frang sounds almost reticent, once again, in her entry in the Canzonetta, and even a bit strained in the movement’s middle section; but, with her penchant for taking time to ruminate on passages, milking from them every imaginable drop of sentiment, she always sounds like Vilde Frang and nobody else. Those who lament a loss of individuality among today’s violinists should find solace—and hope—in her reading of this warhorse, notably in her leisurely introduction to the finale, but also in episodic passages in the movement proper.

    Nielsen’s Violin Concerto opens with a declamatory Praeludium that requires a more straightforwardly aggressive manner, and Frang rises to the challenge, although she brings more playfulness to the movement’s lighter moments. She and Jensen vary their approach in the movement from heightened dramatic exchanges through more delicate, chamber-like dialog and ruddy statement (especially in the movement’s second half), to breathless reflection. Although she sounds fully adequate to Tchaikovsky’s technical demands, Nielsen’s concerto, written by a violinist, sounds more ostentatiously virtuosic (more like Sibelius’s first draft of his Violin Concerto than like its final version), and so does Frang in performing it. Like the first version of Sibelius’s first movement, too, Nielsen’s includes a second cadenza, longer and more technically demanding, before the movement’s main thematic section returns. She and the orchestra bring this first multipart movement to a visceral conclusion. The second two-section part begins with what passes for a slow movement; Frang returns to the hushed manner she affected earlier in this movement before entering buoyantly into the Rondo, an Allegretto scherzando . I remember the strong impression Yehudi Menuhin’s performance of this movement made on me when I first heard it on an LP in the 1960s (in a performance from 1952 with the Danish State Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mogens Wöldike on HMV BLP 1025), but I don’t think it sounded nearly so idiomatic and convincing as does Frang’s reading, although, in reviewing Maxim Vengerov’s performance with Daniel Barenboim on Teldec 13161 in Fanfare 20:3, I noted that Menuhin’s “silken voice and playfulness” in the finale made his reading preferable to Tibor Varga’s with Jerzy Semkow and the Royal Danish Orchestra, Turnabout 4043, an LP that has been in my collection now for about 44 years (it seems to have been a reissue of a recording by Deutsche Grammophon). John Wiser praised Dong-Suk Kang’s reading on BIS CD 370 in Fanfare 11:2, although Peter J. Rabinowitz thought Kang ponderous, and that he displayed little quicksilver, in the very next issue; Kang nevertheless plays with authority in the declamatory first movement and sounds reasonably playful in the finale. Wiser also liked Kim Sjøgren’s performance on Chandos 8854 ( Fanfare 14: 5), and he doesn’t sound so heavy-handed as does Kang. Cho-Liang Lin’s recording on CBS Masterworks MK44548 has sometimes been cited as the gold standard for both concertos (John Wiser preferred Lin’s Sibelius concerto to “all the competition” and praised his driving strength in Nielsen’s concerto, Fanfare 12:3), but Vengerov more than matches him in intensity in the first movement and sounds lighter on his feet in the last movement. More recently, Nikolaj Znaider, whom David K. Nelson praised for his tenderness and obvious love for the work ( Fanfare 25:4), turned in a performance that I praised for its “majestic depth of utterance” in a review that I prepared but that, it seems, didn’t appear (I can find only David’s in the issue and yearly index), a review in which I expressed my preference of his reading to both Lin’s and Vengerov’s. Now it’s the turn of Vilde Frang, whose expansive freedom in the first movement and buoyant but incisive wit in the finale make her recording even more prepossessing, and idiomatic.

    Frang’s performances should awaken new impressions of both these works, one familiar and the other inhabiting the core repertoire’s penumbra. These impressions may chip away at older ones to their very roots. Urgently recommended as one of the most hopeful recordings of the new century, showcasing a lovely and truly individual violinistic voice.
