Vilde Frang Bjærke er en norsk fiolinist som ble født i Oslo 19. august 1986. Hun begynte å spille fiolin da hun var 4 år. I grunnskoleårene 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.

被德国小提琴天后慕特视为正统接班人，特别把她从挪威带到慕尼黑去一手栽培、训练的新一代小提琴女杰薇尔德弗朗，在自己的第二张专辑中，很小心地选择了一套恩师慕特从来没有灌录过的曲目。弗朗在汉堡高等音乐院的老师是德国名家柯利亚布拉夏（Kolja Blacher），布拉夏的父亲波里斯布拉夏是近代音乐史上的知名作曲家，他和中国有段渊缘，他出生在俄国和中国边境的牛庄镇，后来还住在哈尔滨多年，成年后才搬到柏林定居，而柯利亚则是茱莉亚音乐院名师狄蕾的高徒，与帕尔曼、林昭亮、张莎拉等人同门。因此弗朗的琴艺也与这几位系出同门。刚来过台湾不久，并演出过帕格尼尼整套无伴奏奇想曲的弗朗，在这套录音中，选的最难的一首曲目是巴尔托克无伴奏小提琴奏鸣曲，此曲当初是献给曼纽因，他灌录后，却很少有重量级的小提琴家敢尝试，原因是太艰难且吃力不讨好。即使巴尔托克的两首小提琴协奏曲都很受到小提琴家欢迎，但这首无伴奏奏鸣曲却因为音乐语言独特、再加上容易暴露出演奏家的弓法缺点，所以大家往往敬谢不敏，弗朗将此曲排在葛利格非常浪漫、甜美的奏鸣曲之后，突显了两曲的时代语言强烈差异，但也更显示她对自己能让后者跟前者一样受到喜爱的信心。而她的信心果然其来有自，不像曼纽因、甘乃迪等人，以较重的手法，在运弓时刻意保留了一种粗犷的冲击性音色，强调此曲的现代感，弗朗却是以像在处理巴哈无伴奏一样，每一个运弓都讲究优美的歌唱性，距离此曲问世半世纪后，第一次有演奏家大胆尝试不同的角度和方向来诠释此曲，让人印象深刻，也改变了对此曲的既有印象。片中的葛利格小提琴奏鸣曲，近年来几乎已被遗忘，让我们更忘了早在1928年时，这首曲子曾是拉赫曼尼诺夫和克莱斯勒经常在舞台上合奏、甚至录了经典唱片的曲子，弗朗以挪威人的身份诠释此曲，也留下了让人难忘的旋律美。
