Music 96‘ Edvard Grieg: Chamber Music Gala Edvard Grieg: Chamber Music Gala Internationally acclaimed artists celebrate the world famous composer This gala concert presents Edvard Grieg as a composer of chamber music and songs performed by internationally acclaimed artists. The instrumental works appear in reverse chronology: in the classically restrained Violin Sonata from 1886 Grieg relinquishes his national style for a ‘broader horizon’, the 1883 Cello Sonata contains several well-known motifs, and the largescale Ballad for Piano from 1876 caused Grieg so much emotional turmoil that he never performed it in public. Artists performing are: Norwegian pianist Håvard Gimse, Swedish soprano Kerstin Avemo, Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, Lithuanian-born violinist and violist Julian Rachlin, and Norwegian cellist Truls Mørk. Genre Music / Culture Production year 2007 Material Produced by NRK Distribution NordicWorld AS The concert was one of the outstanding features of the 2007 Bergen Music Festival. According to the critics, Leif Ove Andsnes’s performance of Grieg’s extremely challenging piano piece ‘Ballad in G Minor’ was the undisputed highlight of the concert. Another peak performance was Julian Archlin’s rendering of Grieg’s fiery third Violin Sonata, in which Rachlin was accompanied by Andsnes. Together with Håvard Gimse, Truls Mørk elevated Grieg’s Sonata for Cello and Piano to the quintessence of ensemble playing. An added attraction was soprano Kerstin Avemo’s performance of ‘Solveig’s Song’ from the ‘Peer Gynt’ suite.
