If you enjoyed Tellefsen's playing on this CD, do yourself a favor and listen to Henning Kraggerud play Ole Bull on Norwegian Violin Favourites (Naxos). I admit that the CD sounds like something advertised at 3 in the morning on TV, but the selections, production, and playing are sumptuous.

Very interesting recording, you can tell by the style of composition that Bull was quite the crowd pleaser. His virtuosic technical passages are sure to please the masses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two superb Norweigians, January 25, 2000

This review is from: Bull: Herdgirl's Sunday (Audio CD)

Tellefsen, a fellow-student to Perlman plays with a tone and technique that makes other violinists choke for air. Bull was one of the most celebrated violinists of his age. At a time when Ernst, Sarasate, Wieniawski, Vieuxtemps, Lipinski and Joachim vas at their prime, all the critics was unanimous - Bull was number One. The music is full of beutiful melodies and impressing leaps. A must buy!
