Info zu søleils blancs

Jean-Baptiste Doulcet showcases three fascinating facets of Nordic piano music, from the epic Romanticism of Edvard Grieg (Ballade) and his incursion into neo-classicism (Holberg Suite), to the remarkable purity of Jean Sibelius’s Six Impromptus and ‘The Trees’, and the fierce modernism of Carl Nielsen’s Three Pieces op.59. Three contrasting visions of authentic music of the North.

It was not until Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) that Scandinavian and Nordic music freed itself from the omnipresence of Germany and its two titans, Brahms and Wagner. As is well known, the eminent Danish composer Niels Gade (1817-90), whose life spanned the nineteenth century, was trained in Leipzig, the temple of a certain Romantic ‘conservatism’; an assistant of Mendelssohn and a friend of Schumann, who admired him, he had a far-reaching influence on Grieg. It was thanks to Gade that links were forged between a number of composers from northern Europe and that Romanticism permeated the art of Scandinavian creators, with folklore and nature as recurring themes. However, the treatment of the latter differed between German and Nordic composers, the latter seeming to bring it to life from within, while the Germans, however lofty their art, were content to describe the natural world and make it the privileged witness and reflection of their states of mind – Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin is one of the perfect masterpieces of this idealised vision. ...
