"Frang is clearly a new star in the violin firmament"

THE GUARDIAN

"Adroit, impassioned, never shallow, Frang is the real thing"

THE TIMES

"A fully fledged violinist with full control of technique, surplus and an incredible joy of interpretation"

AFTENPOSTEN (Oslo)

"Vilde Frang has a dynamic range and a multi-facetted sound which allows her playing to be completely personal and mouldable into any direction. A grandiose talent!"

ENSEMBLE

"Her expressive ace is to make everything sound as natural and coherent as speech; it's a rare talent to be so vocal without actually opening one's mouth"

INTERNATIONAL RECORD REVIEW

"Vilde Frang coaxes pale and fragile, percussive and glowing sounds out of her instrument and puts her admirable virtuosity fully into the service of musical expressivity"

BAYERISCHE RUNDFUNK ONLINE

"Not only does she master it all technically, but it is how she uses her technique; as though the violin was a human voice, she speaks with her violin, catches impressions and shapes the sound. There is nothing polished and calculated in her playing, everything is displayed and it matches the style to perfection"

STUTTGARTER ZEITUNG

"Although she plays with tremendous surplus, she prefers taking chances rather than playing it safe. She explores every corner of the music and adds to its poetic drama, and she draws her fellow musicians with her in first one direction, then another ... One does not need to expect less from a concert"

JYLLANDSPOSTEN (Copenhagen)

"The young Norwegian Vilde Frang played the Sibelius Violin Concerto magnificently. She confirmed with a perfect technique the great impression she made with David Zinman in Tonhalle, Zurich. Her courage to seek the extremes in sound, both with harsh bowing on the bridge or with sweet and heartrending vibrato, is highly admirable"

SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG

"One listens to her technical abilities, but above all one is taken with her clear perception of the music. She is a violinist with such fine qualities and one will certainly hear more of her in the future"

NEUE LUZERNER ZEITUNG

"Vilde Frang mastered the performance with such ease that many highly praised names on the world music scene could envy her. Her playing is truly expressive, each tone is shaped crystally clear, and her greatest quality is her ability to shape the musical phrases and thus show her outstanding musicality. In this way the full potential in the music is unearthed"

VIESNIC (Zagreb)

"It is no aim for Vilde Frang to boast with her skills: She can do what she wants, and she wants more than most; but what she wants is completely shaped by an insightful respect for the work"

POLITIKEN (Copenhagen)

"So young and so gifted. Violinist Vilde Frang revealed herself as an astoundingly expressive musical interpreter. In contrast to many of her piers who are marketed as stars and hailed as such, Vilde Frang is far more than a promising talent. Above all the passionate, expressive music seems to run in the blood of this young Oslo girl ... Vilde Frang excited the audience with her youthful exuberance, mastering technical difficulties and displaying a glowing intensity"

LUDWIGSBURGER KREISZEITUNG

"One is tempted already at this early stage to use the term unique violinist of Vilde Frang, who without fear or pretentions conquered all traps and hurdles in Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole. With this piece the young Norwegian deservedly made her highly successful debut in Großen Festspielhaus in Salzburg, where she brilliantly put her mark: full temperament and at the same time controlled virtuosity. With Paganini's La Molinara as encore she delighted the audience to standing ovations"

DREHPUNKT KULTUR SALZBURG

"The young violinist is one of the favourites you most of all want to hear- perhaps because she gives it all. One never tires of seeing the Norwegian standing in front of the Copenhagen Philharmonic. So likable. So present. So close to normality. Thank you for listening. Almost unbelievably she also belongs to the very best. Not only does she leave her listeners deeply touched - she shows all sides of herself - both her nervousness and her dexterity. And because the music itself could not find a better interpreter. Take her flair for colours, drama and changing moods... In this she even reminds one of the young Anne-Sophie Mutter"

BERLINGSKE TIDENDE (Copenhagen)

"The Norwegian violin wonder Vilde Frang made a marvellous Musikverein debut ... Her convincing musical maturity coupled with a youthful effortlessness makes up the magic potion with which Vilde Frang enticed her audience ... The lightness in her virtuoso technique left her audience breathless and the stage presence was moving"

KRONENZEITUNG (Graz)
