Music of the North, with Vilde Frang and Thomas Sondergard

Norway's Vilde Frang on her first violin and Danish conductor Thomas Sondergard picks his favourite piece of music.

As the days shorten in the Northern hemisphere, Stephen Broad plays music from our Scandinavian cousins who’re also heading into Winter darkness. Norway’s Vilde Frang talks about her first violin made by her dad and her love of the Scottish countryside. Plus Danish conductor Thomas Sondergard, now Music Director of the RNSO chooses his My Music.
