‘The Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin is increasingly gaining international recognition, and this disc is likely to win him further admirers. The percussion concerto Das war schön! refuses to conform to the genre’s stereotype of superficially impressive crashing and banging.
This Mozart tribute combines a genial charm, with flair and a sometimes impish sense of humour.’ BBC Music Magazine review on the recording of the work. CD details here.
