Von Wolfram Goertz - Rheinische Post, 28. 6. 2020 Oslo Anne-Sophie Mutters Erbin: Eldbjørg Hemsing aus Norwegen gilt als herausragendes Musikertalent. Auf ihrer neuen CD spielt sie die Sonaten ihres berühmten Landsmanns Edvard Grieg. Die Welt schaut seit einigen Jahren gern nach Norwegen, weil das eher unscheinbar an die Westkünste Skandinaviens geflanschte, tief zerfurchte Land der Welt [...]

Eldbjørg Hemsings spenstige og kraftfulle spillestil får Griegs fiolinsonater til å fremstå mer duggfriske enn noensinne. ★★★★★★ Edvard Griegs tre fiolinsonater tilhører standardrepertoaret for fiolinister, og er noe av det fineste norsk musikkhistorie har å by på. Ved siden av de «Lyriske stykkene» for klaver er sonatene den eneste verkkategori hvor man kan følge Griegs [...]
Rezension von Uwe Krusch - Pizzicato ★★★★ Die drei Violinsonaten von Grieg sind schon eine Welt für sich. Einerseits hochgradig ausgefeilt komponierte Musik, machen sie doch immer wieder Platz für volksmusikalische Rhythmen und Melodien. Diese beiden Schichten, die auch generell ein Charakteristikum der Werke dieses Komponisten sind, lässt manche Hörer an der Werthaltigkeit dieses Œuvre [...]

Matthias Siehler, RONDO - Das Klassik & Jazz Magazin - 28.03.2020 ★★★★ BIS Records/ Klassikcenter Kassel BISSACD-2456(72 Min., 12/2018, 03 & 09/2019) Sie greift kraftvoll zu, sie klingt rau, kompakt, fassbar. Der Geigenton der jungen Norwegerin Eldbjørg Hemsing atmet nichts Leichtgewichtiges, Esoterisches, Anämisches. Diese Künstlerin hat einen Willen und eine Vorstellung, sie möchte wissen, dabei [...]

Klassisk Musikk, Publisert: 23.03.2020 ★★★★★ Griegs fiolinsonater er godt opptråkket terreng, men det er alltid rom for en innspilling som er så god som denne. Hemsing og Trpčeski foretrekker raske tempi, og tolkningene deres er fulle av energi og fremdrift, uten at det går på bekostning av klarhet. Hemsing synes også å være gjennomgående oppmerksom [...]
