Only 20 years old, Johan Dalene has already been hailed as ‘a musician of special sensibilities’ (Gramophone) in possession of ‘a rare fire’ (Diapason), and his début disc, with the concertos of Tchaikovsky and Barber, was described as ‘one of the finest violin débuts of the last decade’ in the BBC Music Magazine. For his second album, the Swedish violinist has chosen repertoire closer to home, with works by six Nordic composers. This is music that lies equally well under the hands of his partner, the Norwegian pianist Christian Ihle Hadland, and together the two offer a programme full of contrasts, and yet with a certain consistent sensibility. Nordic Rhapsody is bookended by two Norwegian composers, Christian Sinding and Edvard Grieg. What is interesting is that even though Sinding’s Suite ‘in the old style’ was composed some 25 years after Grieg’s Sonata No. 1, it is the latter work that is most forward-looking. Here the composer introduces elements of his national style, which in turn would contribute to the development of ‘a Nordic style’.

This ninth installment of the Next Generation Mozart Soloists series presents four young soloists under the direction of Howard Griffiths and reveals the full range of Mozart's creativity. Mozart most likely heard a Sinfonia concertante - a work in which a group of solo instruments enters into a dialog with the orchestra - for the first time in Paris in 1778. The following year he composed such a work for violin, viola and orchestra: the Sinfonia concertante K. 364. It is recorded here by Johan Dalene and Eivind Ringstad, who are full of praise for the way Mozart placed the viola on an equal footing with the violin.

Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius, alongside Grieg the two giants in Nordic classical music, were both born in 1865. Both also received their first musical training on the violin, earning valuable insights when it came to writing for the instrument. Their respective Violin Concertos were composed some six years apart – Sibelius’ in 1904-05 and Nielsen’s in 1911 – and belong to the most performed works of either composer. They are nevertheless as different from each other as are the artistic temperaments of their makers. While retaining the traditional three-movement concerto form, Sibelius composed something closer to a Late-Romantic orchestral tone poem giving the orchestra unusual prominence. Nielsen on the other hand opted for an unconventional form, reminiscent of the Baroque concerto grosso: the spiky, neoclassical work is nominally in two movements, but with each movement having a slow and a fast section.

It’s a very nice idea to pair the Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky Violin Concertos. Two concertos in D major from two major Russian masters, the former a proper old repertoire warhorse, the latter rather more neglected, one wonders why more people haven’t thought of it.
