Elgar: Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61
Elgar: Carissima
Lloyd Webber, W: The Gardens at Eastwell "A Late Summer Impression" (Arr. Soudoplatoff for Violin and Strings)

“I have wanted to record this concerto for a long time, and Elgar actually has been a very late discovery for me, the Violin Concerto. But it didn't take me a long time to become a very passionate ambassador for this piece. And I really feel that the format of this piece is such a vast piece of music and it's more on the symphonic scale than a violin concerto to me, which is why I take immense pleasure in playing this concerto.” – Vilde Frang

The reviews of Vilde Frang’s recent Elgar concert performances have been outstanding, media writing about a remarkable performance bringing out Elgar’s extraordinary beauty.

Vilde recorded the Concerto with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Robin Ticciati.
