For his Crespo Series recital with Dénes Várjon, Henning Kraggerud has picked three key works from the Romantic violin repertoire each composed in 1886, Brahms’ lyrical, song-inspired A major Sonata, Grieg’s C minor Sonata and Franck’s Sonata, presented to Ysaÿe on his wedding day. Behind each work is a love story told in music.
