It follows the \"Works for Violin and Orchestra\" album (2L067SABD) released by the Norwegian violinist Annar Folleso (b. 1972) in 2010, the bicentenary of Bull's birth, and offers a programme of five pieces that no one but Bull himself ever played.\n\"Largo posato e Rondo capriccioso\" opens with dark chords in D minor and ends in humoresque vein; Halfdan Kjerulf described it as \"music of rich religious feeling\". It is performed here from an incomplete manuscript orchestrated by Nikolai Riise, with the missing passages and the cadenza composed by Folleso. \"Norges Fjelde (Norway's Mountains)\" is a potpourri of Norwegian dances and melodies, completed by Wolfgang Plagge, who added a polska and folk tunes and closed the work with \"Bergensiana\". \"Vilspel i Lio\" takes its title from the phrase folk musicians use for playing from memory; Kjerulf called it \"a spring song of the mountains\", and it is heard here in Plagge's reconstruction. The \"Fantasy on 'Lilly Dale'\" is based on a ballad by the American composer H. S. Thompson which in Norway, under the title \"Guds kjaerlighet (God's love)\", is sung as a wedding hymn. \"The Last Romance\" is Plagge's arrangement for violin and piano of the manuscript of a choral setting that Bull dedicated to Bjornstjerne Bjornson.\nFolleso is joined by the Norwegian Radio Orchestra under Eun Sun Kim (b. 1980), who takes up the post of Music Director of San Francisco Opera from the 2021-22 season. Recorded in sessions at Jar Church in Baerum. The cover artwork is Caspar David Friedrich's \"The Stages of Life\".\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Largo posato e Rondo capriccioso\u003cbr\u003e2.Norges Fjelde\u003cbr\u003e3.Fantasy on \"Lilly Dale\"\u003cbr\u003e4.Vilspel i Lio\u003cbr\u003e5.Siste romanse\u003cbr\u003e1.Largo posato e Rondo capriccioso\u003cbr\u003e2.Norges Fjelde\u003cbr\u003e3.Fantasy on \"Lilly Dale\"\u003cbr\u003e4.Vilspel i Lio\u003cbr\u003e5.Siste romanse\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2L","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525299265825,"sku":"7041888525226","price":7090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/7041888525226.jpg?v=1789730718","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/7041888525226","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
