Halvorsen Violin Concerto

Yes, totally agree, Alan.

I think the recording's a considerable improvement on the download we already have. I'd now characterise the idiom as 'nordic, folk-inflected Bruch'. I still don't think it's anything more than an interesting discovery, but I'm glad I've encountered in this very fine performance: Kraggerud is a staggeringly good violinist and the MalmoSO under Engeset support him to the hilt. At Naxos price this is a very welcome release indeed.
