Bjarne Brustad- Music for Violin and Viola


The Library has recently acquired an exciting new recording: violinist and Grieg Trio member Sølve Sigerland has chosen to explore Bjarne Brustad’s (1895-1978) violin capriccios with skilled support from violist Lars Anders Tomter. Brustad was one of the first Norwegian composers to embrace impressionism, and at a later stage he developed a strong interest in Norwegian folklore and neo-classicism. The works on this disc showcase the composer’s life-long project; to capture a national and modern tonal language.
