This album features enchanting Romantic music by Swedish composer Emil Sjögren, performed by the distinguished violinist Per Enoksson and renowned pianist Kathryn Stott. Sjögren's works, deeply rooted in the European Romantic tradition, include the passionate and dramatic Violin Sonata No. 2 in E minor, Op. 24, and the youthfully enthusiastic Violin Sonata No. 1, Op. 19. The album also presents the lyrical Zwei lyrische Stücke and the expressive Poème for violin and piano, Op. 40, highlighting Sjögren's skill in creating intimate and evocative chamber music. Per Enoksson, concertmaster of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and Kathryn Stott, a celebrated pianist known for her international performances, bring these hidden gems to life, offering listeners a chance to discover the beauty and depth of Sjögren's compositions.
