Storgårds has a commanding talent both as violinist and as a musician, and his part could not be performed with more character, especially in the lower register.
C.S., Fono Forum, March 1997
John Storgårds couples controlled violence with eminent sensitivity. (...) Nordgren's gift is in writing music which creates profound tension, but which never feels forced.
Catherine Nelson, The Strad, February 1997
This CD features two major works by Finnish composer Pehr Henrik Nordgren: Cronaca (1991), a symphonic work for strings, and the one-movement Fourth Violin Concerto, written for John Storgårds - the soloist and conductor on this recording - in 1994.
