Author: Ivan March
Henning Kraggerud plays on a modern violin, and with a lovely tone presents these miniatures with a simple eloquence that is disarmingly pleasurable. He ends his programme with two favourite Grieg items which show how folk material could be transmuted by a really great composer. He is very well accompanied and recorded, and this is altogether a most engaging lightweight concert, which at Naxos price is highly recommendable.
