Grieg - The Complete Songs, Vol.3
BBC Music Magazine 5 stars.
This recital traces the evolving voice of Grieg as a song composer, from early works rooted in German Romantic tradition to the more personal, refined language of his зрелость. The songs reveal a composer increasingly attuned to the subtle interplay between poetry and music—where harmony, declamation, and melodic contour serve the expressive nuance of the text. From the earnest lyricism of the early settings to the distilled atmosphere of the later pieces, a distinct sensitivity to mood and character emerges. The selection also offers glimpses of Grieg’s exploration of national identity, where elements of Norwegian inflection are absorbed into a broader, cosmopolitan idiom .
The performance brings a natural sense of line and colour to these varied miniatures. The voice unfolds with warmth and clarity, attentive to the shifting emotional landscape, while the piano provides both structural grounding and expressive detail. Together, they illuminate the inward poetry and fleeting dramatic gestures that define Grieg’s song world, allowing each piece to speak with intimacy and quiet intensity.
