Swedish composer Emil Sjögren is known outside his native country (if at all) as a late romantic miniaturist, but this CD (Volume 1 of a set of three discs devoted to his music for violin and piano) shows him also to be a master of sonata form, without sacrificing any of the melodic charm which characterises his song-writing.

“Tobias Ringborg has a fine, strong cantabile tone well-suited to this music… Anders Kilström copes well with Sjögren's piano parts, which range from a kind of artless simplicity to quite bravura complexity. The utter sincerity and emotional idealism of this music is patent, as is Sjögren's sure command of his medium.”
