Editor's Choice

"Kraggerud's zestful love of these works shines from every bar. He directs the ensemble with as much panache as he brings to the solo part ... indispensible ..." *****

Guy Weatherall - Classical Music magazine - September 2013

"A fresh wind blows through Mozart’s Violin Concertos Nos. 3, 4 and 5 in these colorful performances by Henning Kraggerud and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra…stylish and elegant." *****

Remy Franck - Pizzicato magazine - July 2016

"... Henning Kraggerud is directing the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, as well as supplying his own cadenzas…it’s so alive with such engaging articulation and really crisp exchanges with the orchestra…the slow movements in all three concertos flow beautifully, played with a very light, sweet, singing tone and the recording places Kraggerud just in front of the ensemble…not too close, really intelligently balanced. Kraggerud’s cadenzas work very well… "

Andrew McGregor - BBC Radio 3 - July 2016

"...Mozart wrote his Violin Concertos in 1775 while still living in Salzburg. He had already toured internationally and found his home town restricting. But, as ever, Mozart rose above circumstances to create sublime and thrillingly unconventional masterpieces filled with wit and elegant charm. Violinist Henning Kraggerud leads the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and plays his own cadenzas."

Lisa Flynn - WFMT (Chicago) - June 2016

"... Here’s a Naxos recording of standard classical repertoire that would make any full-price label proud. The performances are light and energetic. Kraggerud’s tone is eloquent and beautiful, marrying richness in the low notes with sweetness at the top, and he plays his own long, sparky cadenzas." ****

Erica Jeal - The Guardian - June 2016

CD of the Week

"...Kraggerud serves up all of the necessary vivacity and fizz in the outside movements while sustaining the soaring tunes of their slow centres. Throughout, the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra provide solid and sympathetic support."

John Suchet - Classic FM - June 2016
