About

In the veritable musical frenzy that struck Rued Langgaard (1893-1952) near the end of his life, he composed several violin sonatas – a genre he had not paid much attention to since his early days. In this second in a series of three recordings presenting Langgaard’s complete works for violin and piano the award-winning violinist Gunvor Sihm and the Langgaard expert Berit Johansen Tange perform the Violin Sonata no.1, composed in the course of four days in mid-June – when Langgaard was vacationing in Southern Sweden, and Langgaard’s last work for violin, the Andante religioso, in addition to the Sunday Sonata, one of Langgaard’s most bizarre and unpredictable compositions.

Awards and reviews

December 2018

Youthful ambition fairly permeates the 40-minute First Violin Sonata…Of the other pieces, Andante religioso (1950) is a miniature as deft formally as it is poised expressively…Sound and annotations leave nothing to be desired, making this disc a welcome continuation of another Langgaard project.
