Johan Halvorsen was one of the leading figures in Norwegian music during his lifetime. His folk-inspired Concert Caprice on Norwegian Melodies evokes the natural world while his Passacaglia and Sarabande echo the sophisticated world of the Baroque. Virtuoso violinist Antonio Bruni thrived in Paris despite the French Revolution, and his Duos Concertants are underrated gems of the repertoire. Husband and wife duo, violinist Natalia Lomeiko, described by Yehudi Menuhin as ‘one of the most brilliant of our younger violinists’, and violist Yuri Zhislin, hailed by The Strad as ‘a virtuoso with a lyrical talent and a truly Romantic temperament’, have been acclaimed for their technically flawless performances.
