"... Kraggerud has provided (his) players with some very attractive repertoire and they clearly respond with enthusiasm, producing performances that are precise, alert and expressive."
- Gramophone
"The music is tuneful and appealing and there’s no doubting the love and dedication the soloist and his orchestra have for Grieg’s work. Kraggerud’s performances are magnificent and his bright, clean tone always shines through. When required, he also shows considerable virtuosity and nimble finger work in the faster passages ... this is music making of the very highest order. The quality of the recording is exceptional. Balance between soloist and orchestra is excellent and the sound has an appealing, natural warmth ... a magnificent disc ..."

Grieg is one of the world’s best known composers, but his three Violin Sonatas are a relatively unfamiliar part of his output, despite being among his own favourite pieces. Since Grieg never wrote a violin concerto, leading Norwegian violinist Henning Kraggerud has taken up the challenge of creating three new concertos from the sonatas for violin and piano. These orchestrations are world premiere recordings.
