Gerhard Krammer in the classical music programme ‘Des Cis’:
“The so-called ‘Nordic Music’ has its fixed stars: Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto with those striking opening bars, for example. A new recording lets ‘these old familiars’ shine again in a new light. The Schleswig-Holstein Symphony Orchestra under its chief music director Peter Sommerer expresses a very compact and yet clearly drawn sound that is very well suited to these compositions.
And it is a formidable ground on which the pianist Ana-Marija Markovina can confidently create, sing, dream and dance, with Grieg and also with Franz Berwald.
