New Norwegian Violin Music Vol II by František Veselka Milena Dratvová is an exceptional album that showcases the talent and skill of these two accomplished musicians. The album features a collection of contemporary Norwegian violin pieces, each of which is performed with precision and passion by Veselka and Dratvová.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Night Music" by Henning Sommerro, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The duo's interpretation of the piece is both delicate and powerful, capturing the essence of the music perfectly.

Throughout the album, Veselka and Dratvová demonstrate their versatility and range as musicians, seamlessly transitioning from the melancholic "Lament" by Kjell Mørk Karlsen to the lively and energetic "Dance" by Terje Bjørklund. The duo's chemistry is palpable, and their performances are a testament to their years of experience as musicians.
