## About this recording

## Features

Booklet with liner notes in English, German, French and Finnish

## Press

Storgårds has a commanding talent both as violinist and as a musician, and his part could not be performed with more character, especially in the lower register.

C.S., Fono Forum, March 1997

John Storgårds couples controlled violence with eminent sensitivity. (...) Nordgren's gift is in writing music which creates profound tension, but which never feels forced.

Catherine Nelson, The Strad, February 1997
