About

“I have wanted to record this concerto for a long time, and Elgar actually has been a very late discovery for me, the Violin Concerto. But it didn't take me a long time to become a very passionate ambassador for this piece. And I really feel that the format of this piece is such a vast piece of music and it's more on the symphonic scale than a violin concerto to me, which is why I take immense pleasure in playing this concerto.” – Vilde Frang

The reviews of Vilde Frang’s recent Elgar concert performances have been outstanding, media writing about a remarkable performance bringing out Elgar’s extraordinary beauty.

Vilde recorded the Concerto with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Robin Ticciati.

The album also features Elgar’s short piece Carissima with Thomas Hoppe at the piano.

PLEASE NOTE: The CD does not include William Lloyd Webber's The Gardens at Eastwell "A Late Summer Impression" (Arr. Soudoplatoff for Violin and Strings) - this is only included with the digital versions.

Awards and reviews

December 2024

A new version which stands comparison with the best. Frang’s initial entry is immediately soulful and introspective, intently tuning in to Robin Ticciati’s compelling account of the long orchestral introduction...Anyone interested in Elgar, or in acutely insightful violin playing , should hear it.

Awards Issue 2024

Her understanding of Elgar's kaleidoscopic writing is instinctive at all levels...Every lover of Elgar’s masterpiece should try to hear this magnificent addition to the library.

5th September 2024

the truly outstanding recordings of Elgar’s Violin Concerto can still be counted on the fingers of one hand. It’s a measure of the startling quality of this performance that it unquestionably deserves a place among that elite. Her playing has a thrilling authority and confidence in what is technically one of the most demanding concertos in the violin repertory, and it helps immeasurably that her tone is arrestingly warm and burnished.
