In a review (in which Svarfvar receives 5 stars out of 5) the Financial Times writes:



"Confession Time: I had never previously rated Grieg's three sonatas for violin and
piano, probably because I had never heard them in such a committed, thoroughbred
performances as these by Swedish violinist Christian Svarfvar. Lighter than the Brahms
sonatas, sweeter than Schumann's, they have been consigned for too long to the edges of
the repertoire, and it takes a musician with a special understanding of the Norwegian
composer's melodic fantasy to open our ears to music of such balmy charm and vitality....
...listening to all three sonatas in quick succession is pure pleasure, buoyed by
Svarfvar's fearless expression, rock-solid technique and stylistic acumen. This gifted
violinist has done us - and Grieg- a big favour, and we must hear more from him."



Christian Svarfvar, a former child prodigy, grew up in Sweden in a family of musicians
and started playing the violin as a five-year old. At the age of 13 he made his debut in
Mendelssohn violin concerto with the Swedish chamber orchestra.



In 2005 he graduated from the world famous Juilliard School in New York, and since
then he has been performing solo in the most prestigious concert halls in the world such
as the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and
Cite de la Musique in Paris. In 2009 he made his New York-debut in a sold out Carnegie
Hall.



With his passionate, vibrant and yet elegant playing Christian Svarfvar is today one
of the most sought after violinists in Scandinavia and he performs all over the world. He
is also a passionate chamber music player and has performed with fellow artists such as
Thorleif Thedeen, Martin Frost, Peter Jablonski, Julian Rachlin, Frans Helmersson and
Tabea Zimmerman.



Christian Svarfvar is presently working with BIS Records on a new album with composers
of the French impressionism, to be released later this fall.
