"Gardner gets things off to a swashbuckling start with a swaggering introduction that showcases the sparkling Bergen strings and gives way to the uncanny sonority of the Hardanger fiddle, paving the way for an account of the score which holds the sweeping symphonic writing and folk elements in ideal balance...Norwegian lyric-dramatic soprano Lise Davidsen contributes a luminously seductive Anitra." - Presto Classical 5th January 2018
