Kraus:

Concerto for violin in C Major

with cadenzas by Bertil van Boer

Olympie: Incidental Music, VB 33

The incidental music for Johan Henrik Kellgren’s tragedy Olympie consists of a powerful Sturm und Drang overture, an off-stage march, four entr’actes and an epilogue.

Azire: Ballet Music, VB 18

The final work included here represents virtually the only portions that have survived from Kraus’s early 1779 Swedish opera Azire. They are fragments with a joyous mood, making it all the more a pity that Kraus’s first dramatic work for the stage has been lost.
