“There is a wonderful clarity to Frang’s interpretation that allows her to get straight to the musical point”

“Startling emotional sincerity and inspired musical imagination”

“She is not a girly violinist, she is not a dominatrix either; she is not trying to be a snake charmer, nor is she going for gold - Vilde Frang is only herself - unique, effortless and natural. And the way she plays reflects exactly this: listening to her is somehow liberating and therefore so enjoyable - especially since it captivates one entirely”

“Vilde Frang has a dynamic range and a multi-facetted sound which allows her playing to be completely personal and mouldable into any direction”

“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”

“Frang has the knack of breathing life into every note, whether by variations in phrasing, attack, tone or dynamic - just a few of the weapons in her impressive musical armoury”

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

“Adroit, impassioned, never shallow, Frang is the real thing”

“Playing with almost intimidating dexterity and polish, not to mention impeccable intonation, her music making still manages to project an impression of honesty and naturalness”

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