Aulin, Tor: Violin Concerto No. 1 & 2 and other pieces
CDS 1050-2 Tor Aulin (1866-1914): Concert Piece in G minor for violin and orchestra ('Violin Concerto No. 1', 1891); Violin Concerto No. 2 (1893); Gotlandish Dances (1910); Swedish Dances (1913). Tobias Ringborg, violin; Gävle Symphony Orchestra conducted by Niklas Willén.
Violin concertos 1 and 2 + orchestral dances. Very Mendelsohnian concertos, orginal and very personally instrumented dances based on Swedish folk tunes.
"Despite its unexpansive size, there is a bigness about the Second that is one of its most remarkable features. As in the Concert Piece, the solo writing is masterly and, unlike many concertos written by violinist-composers, does not sacrifice substance for display." - MusicWeb
