Violin concerto no.1 ; Chamber works (1995)

"This [Violin Concerto No. 1] really is a masterpiece, albeit a discomfiting one, written by a composer who was also a master string player. Karl-Ove Mannberg and the Fresk Quartet recorded it for the Swedish label Caprice, a fine performance fiercely recorded, emphasizing the dissonance of expression. Hoelscher and the Mandelring are equally good and CPOs sound has less glare, softening edges that were unnaturally severe with no loss of impact. A revelatory issue." (Gramophone)
