Norway's Vilde Frang has signed a recording
deal with EMI Classics, it has been announced.
Her first record for the label, scheduled for release on 18
January 2010, will feature the Sibelius Violin Concerto,
three Humoresques and Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No 1.
'It was Vilde's performance of the Sibelius Violin Concerto
that first caught our attention,' commented Stephen Johns, vice
president of A&R at EMI Classics. She plays with 'great
fervour and depth', he added.
Frang, born in 1986, made her debut at the age of 10 with the
Norwegian Radio Orchestra. She currently studies under Ana
Chumachenco at the Kronberg Academy, where she is completing a
Further Master Studies programme with an Anne-Sophie Mutter
Foundation scholarship.
Her debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra came in 2007,
after which she was invited to perform at the Royal Festival Hall
in May 2009.
Frang is the recipient of an array of prizes, including a
fellowship from the Borletti-Buitoni Trust and the 2009 Norwegian
Soloist Prize.
In advance of her upcoming album, she can be seen performing
at Wigmore Hall with Julien Quentin (piano) on 6 July, and
at the
Cheltenham Festival with the Hallé Orchestra and Edward
Gardner on 18 July.
