Remembered today for his piano favourite The Rustle of Spring, Christian Sinding ranked second only to Grieg in his homeland and was honoured abroad, composing a wealth of immediately appealing and well-crafted Romantic music including the works for violin and piano on this disc. Playing a richly sonorous 1744 Guarneri del Gesù, violinist Henning Kraggerud (whose recording of violin concertos by Sibelius and Sinding was acclaimed as "a masterly performance…warm and powerful, with a confident, wide vibrato and immaculate intonation" by Gramophone) joins Christian Ihle Hadland, one of Norway's most exciting young piano talents.
