The Swedish composer Bo Linde was a precocious talent and a gifted pianist. A pupil of Lars Erik Larsson, he was greatly influenced by his teacher’s neo-classical style. Linde’s Violin Concerto is the most regularly performed of his orchestral works, and its assured lyricism prompted its dedicatee, Josef Grünfarb, to comment, “Everything was complete … His feeling for the instrument was unique for someone who did not play it himself”. It is coupled on this recording with Linde’s Cello Concerto, a warm and virtuosic piece conceived on a grand scale, which the composer himself considered one of his finest works.
