Passionate Playing
Posted by: Anna Tooth on 31 January 2002
We have recorded and released another musical treasure in the form of Grieg's Folk Dances and Songs.
Håvard Gimse is a brilliant young musician who has established himself as one of Europe's leading international pianists. He plays the Folk Dances and Songs with warmth, passion and vitality.
You may remember the first disc that we recorded with Håvard (Chopin), of which Gramophone said "the recordings are excellent and this is definitely a pianist to watch"
Grieg's music is pure, charming, graceful, lyrical and emotional, reflecting his love of Norway.
