Vilde Frang Bj?rke er en norsk fiolinist som ble f?dt i Oslo 19. august 1986. Hun begynte ? spille fiolin da hun var 4 ?r. I grunnskole?rene var hun elev av Alf Richard Kraggerud, Henning Kraggerud og Stephan Barratt-Due ved Barratt Due musikkinstitutt i Oslo. Siden studerte hun med Kolja Blacher i Hamburg og med Ana Chumachenco ved Kronberg-akademiet i Hessen.

被德國小提琴天后慕特視為正統(tǒng)接班人，特別把她從挪威帶到慕尼黑去一手栽培、訓(xùn)練的新一代小提琴女杰薇爾德弗朗，在自己的第二張專輯中，很小心地選擇了一套恩師慕特從來沒有灌錄過的曲目。弗朗在漢堡高等音樂院的老師是德國名家柯利亞布拉夏（Kolja Blacher），布拉夏的父親波里斯布拉夏是近代音樂史上的知名作曲家，他和中國有段淵緣，他出生在俄國和中國邊境的牛莊鎮(zhèn)，后來還住在哈爾濱多年，成年后才搬到柏林定居，而柯利亞則是茱莉亞音樂院名師狄蕾的高徒，與帕爾曼、林昭亮、張莎拉等人同門。因此弗朗的琴藝也與這幾位系出同門。剛來過臺灣不久，并演出過帕格尼尼整套無伴奏奇想曲的弗朗，在這套錄音中，選的最難的一首曲目是巴爾托克無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲，此曲當(dāng)初是獻(xiàn)給曼紐因，他灌錄后，卻很少有重量級的小提琴家敢嘗試，原因是太艱難且吃力不討好。即使巴爾托克的兩首小提琴協(xié)奏曲都很受到小提琴家歡迎，但這首無伴奏奏鳴曲卻因為音樂語言獨特、再加上容易暴露出演奏家的弓法缺點，所以大家往往敬謝不敏，弗朗將此曲排在葛利格非常浪漫、甜美的奏鳴曲之后，突顯了兩曲的時代語言強烈差異，但也更顯示她對自己能讓后者跟前者一樣受到喜愛的信心。而她的信心果然其來有自，不像曼紐因、甘乃迪等人，以較重的手法，在運弓時刻意保留了一種粗獷的沖擊性音色，強調(diào)此曲的現(xiàn)代感，弗朗卻是以像在處理巴哈無伴奏一樣，每一個運弓都講究優(yōu)美的歌唱性，距離此曲問世半世紀(jì)后，第一次有演奏家大膽嘗試不同的角度和方向來詮釋此曲，讓人印象深刻，也改變了對此曲的既有印象。片中的葛利格小提琴奏鳴曲，近年來幾乎已被遺忘，讓我們更忘了早在1928年時，這首曲子曾是拉赫曼尼諾夫和克萊斯勒經(jīng)常在舞臺上合奏、甚至錄了經(jīng)典唱片的曲子，弗朗以挪威人的身份詮釋此曲，也留下了讓人難忘的旋律美。
