The last stage on a long journey, here is the third and final instalment of a warmly received Rued Langgaard cycle undertaken by violinist Gunvor Sihm and pianist Berit Johansen Tange.

Rued Langgaard’s (1893-1952) compositions for violin and piano are like fixed points in his production, since all four main phases of his musical development are represented within this genre.

The present volume includes the violin sonatas nos. 2 and 3 – highly accomplished works with strong individual features – and two single-movement pieces composed by Langgaard the precocious teenager: the charming Aubade written on a summer holiday with his parents, and the dark-coloured Night Watchman’s Song.

Gunvor Sihm and Berit Johansen Tange are both Langgaard experts. As a member of the Nightingale String Quartet, Gunvor Sihm har performed and recorded the complete string quartets by Langgaard, while Berit Johansen Tange is now working on her 4th album in the series of Langgaard’s complete works for solo piano.
