Eivind Groven Symphonies solidly Norwegian
The Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra (not surprisingly) understands the foundation Groven built his symphonies on. And their performances enhance the energetic beauty of these works.
Wallfisch shows affinity for Weinberg Concerto
As always, Wallfisch's sympathetic performances provide insight into the scores. In this case, his decision to highlight the Jewish elements in the music provides added insight into the complex personality of Mieczyslaw Weinberg.
Rontgen Piano Concertos - originality in traditional forms
Pianist Oliver Triend plays with enthusiasm. Röntgen loved to perform, and Triendl conveys that feeling effectively. Plus he has the chops to handle all of Röntgen's technical challenges.
