Live from Wigmore Hall: violinist Henning Kraggerud plays Grieg's Third Violin Sonata and premieres a new piece of his own. The outstanding Norwegian musician offers Wigmore audiences the first performance in this country of a new piece that was first played in Tromsø last year. Romantartica brings together two ports of departure – Tromsø, from which many explorers set off for the Arctic - and Hobart, a departure point for Antarctic expeditions including those of Scott and Amundsen. The multi-prizewinning Serbian pianist, Ljubica Stojanovic, joins him for this typically intriguing programme.
