With heavily atmospheric TV Scandinavian crime drama now all the rage, here is an essentially upbeat antidote to the leaden skies of northern Europe filling our TV screens! This collection features firm favourites such as Alfvén's Midsommarvake (Midsummer Vigil aka Swedish Rhapsody) and Grieg's Våren (Last Spring) and also less familiar works by Halvorsen, Svendsen, Bull and Nielsen. Completing the well-filled Smörgåsbord are three delightful miniatures by 'the Johann Strauss of the north' Hans Lumbye. Many of these performances, including six works conducted by Øivin Fjeldstad and John Frandsen's 1955 recording of Kuhnau's Elverhøj, are on CD for the first time. “a confident romp through innocent Scandinavian fare resuscitated from the 1950s-60s LP era.” MusicWeb International, April 2013 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Arve Tellefsen Plays Ole Bull
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the legendary Norwegian violinist/composer Ole Bull. The resurgence of interest in his music is in no small way down to the championing of his work by his compatriot, the internationally renowned soloist Arve Tellefsen. On this special re-issue Tellefsen is joined by the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and conductor Eivind Aadland as well as the notable pianist Håvard Gimse in performances of many of Bull’s finest pieces for violin. The disc also features two pieces by Norway’s greatest composer, Edvard Grieg. Throughout his long career, Arve Tellefsen has been an ardent advocate of bringing the musical legacy of the great 19th century Norwegian violinist/composer Ole Bull to a worldwide audience. On this anniversary reissue we hear him perform some of Bull’s bestknown music for the instrument, including works for violin and orchestra, as well as with smaller instrumental groups, and several pieces for violin and piano. This year the International Festival in Bergen includes a night devoted to Ole Bull’s music, with Arve Tellefsen the main featured artist. As a special addition, the CD also features two works by Edvard Grieg, which he and Ole Bull performed during their only known appearance together in 1873. These two pieces, Gavotte and Menuet, later became the Ved Mannjævningen and the 2nd movement of the F major violin sonata. | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.
