A lone trumpet sounds in the darkness and Gustav Mahler begins his great symphonic struggle from tragedy to triumph 鈥� by way of midnight storms, joyous horn-calls, and arguably the most tender love-letter ever written without words: the rapturous 'Adagietto'. Bruch鈥檚 much-loved Violin Concerto comes from the same world of solitary wanderers and distant horn-calls, and it鈥檚 perfect for what one critic has called the 鈥渓ovely freedom and sense of fantasy鈥� of Henning Kraggerud 鈥� a violinist who has something fresh to say in even the most familiar music.
