Hallgrímsson: Cello Concertos

Truls Mørk projects the close-knit solo writing (in Herma) with his customary finesse, and he is no less insightful in the Cello Concerto (2003) dedicated to him. (...) the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, who respond with alacrity to the assured direction of John Storgårds. Excellent sound and decent notes help make this disc worth investigating by those who have enjoyed Hallgrímsson's understated individuality. --Gramophone, August 2009

The Cello Concerto is a major addition to the modern repertoire. (...) Truls Mørk plays both pieces with rich tone, total confidence, and a sure sense of the music's expressive trajectory. (...) Ondine's sonics are excellent. Definitely worth getting to know. --David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com, May 2011, Artistic Quality 9 / Sound Quality 9

This is (...) music of a very high order, wonderfully performed and recorded, and I recommend it to you with every enthusiasm. --International Record Review, May 2009
