Recorded in Grieg's villa, Troldhaugen, on Grieg's own
Steinway Model B from 1892
The songs of Edvard Grieg have always been among his
most beloved compositions, for Grieg himself, and for
performers and listeners. The 170 songs he wrote spring from
deep personal inspiration, and they were always dedicated to
or inspired by close personal relations or great poetry.
We wanted to record Edvard Grieg's music in Grieg's own
villa and on his own lovely piano. In selecting which songs
would work well together on this CD we followed intuition and
mood. We were invited by the Edvard Grieg Museum to
record the songs which make up his opus 48. The poems are
taken from several authors, and the texts are all in German.
Opus 26 with poems of Johan Paulsen, and opus 39, with
different Norwegian poets represented, offer the complete
spectrum from the joys of love to the deepest sorrow humans
can experience—the loss of a child. The Steinway grand from
the 1890s provides the intimacy of tone called for by the texts.
This recording was made during a few cold January days. The
songs were assembled and arranged far from festivals and
spring birches. While they were being recorded, the efforts to
muffle the sounds of the winter storm and wooden house
were gradually modified into an encounter with that which
Grieg himself had discovered to be inspiring—a lovely house,
the beauty of nature, and the essence of the moment that a
song can impart. Moreover, we were able to avail ourselves
of the composer's own instrument: a magnificent old Steinway
grand with its characteristic timbre— dark, deep, and round,
and at the same time bright and clear in the treble. A grand
piano built for this intimate setting and concert experience.
Together with LAWO Classics we are pleased to be able to
launch the result of a long and rewarding process, a complete
lifetime in miniature—Among Roses.
