Vilde Frang: Violin Sonatas

The rising young Norwegian virtuoso shows her mettle in this excellent programme of 19th and 20th-century violin sonatas.

In Grieg’s youthful Sonata in F she’s feisty and poetic as the mood turns, with effortless flourishes. Strauss’s equally youthful Sonata in E billows with prodigal invention and a demanding piano part, in safe hands with Michail Lifits. In between comes a harder case, Bartók’s Solo Sonata of 1944, strongly dispatched with plenty of muscle and heart. Adroit, impassioned, never shallow, Frang is the real thing. (EMI Classics; out now)
