专辑介绍
Everyone loves Grieg. Everyone wishes he had written more orchestral works in large forms. Well, now he has, more or less. I have to confess that I had some qualms about this project to arrange the three violin sonatas as violin concertos, especially on reading the statement, “In these arrangements the solo violin is set against a string orchestra augmented by wind instruments in order to retain the feel of chamber music.” After all, if you want to “retain the feel of chamber music,” why not just stick to the originals?
In turns out that listening is believing. These are superbly made arrangements. The fact is that Grieg’s writing for solo violin in a duo sonata is naturally quite different from the kind that would have been necessary in a romantic concerto for violin and large orchestra. The use of restrained forces is thus entirely appropriate, and by having four woodwinds on hand–one each of bassoon, clarinet, oboe, and flute–there’s just enough contrast to prevent monotony and color the orchestral melodies effectively. Try, for example, the bassoon solo at the start of the F major Concerto’s central Allegretto (sound clip). It’s delightful–just right.
The concluding bars of the Second Concerto’s finale basically summarize all that can be done to transform Grieg’s piano original into a work for string orchestra (second clip). To facilitate comparison, and show how effective these arrangements truly are, I also provide the violin and keyboard original (third clip). Violinist Henning Kraggerud is more than just an able transcriber (along with colleague Bernt Simen Lund). He is the excellent soloist and leader of the very fine Tromsø Chamber Orchestra. They sound lovely together–by turns robust, delicate, and always sensitively balanced. The result couldn’t be more natural.
This beautifully recorded release has to be accounted one of the most successful projects of its type ever realized, and this is certainly one of the best discs of the year.

- @cloudy(我还没想好要写什么...)：格里格是历史上最具代表性的挪威作曲家之一，他的3首小提琴奏鸣曲是他本人最钟爱的作品，但对于乐迷来说，这些曲目却相对不那么出名。格里格一生从未创作过小提琴协奏曲，而在这张专辑中，同样来自挪威的小提琴家海宁•科瑞格鲁德（Henning Kraggerud）将这3首奏鸣曲以乐队形式展现，意图在此基础上创造出3首全新的协奏曲。在这一版的编排中，小提琴与木管乐组的对话尤为精彩，保留了室内乐最迷人的特质。
