Grieg Violin Sonatas
Grieg’s three sonatas for violin and piano with Christian Svarfvar and Helge Kjekshus.
"It takes a musician with a special understanding of the Norwegian composer’s melodic fantasy to open our ears to music of such balmy charm and vitality. I had never heard them in such committed, thoroughbred performances as these by Swedish violinist Christian Svarfvar. Svarfvar and the ever-supportive Kjekshus capture it to perfection."
