Agathe Backer Grondahl is one of the most interesting figures of Norwegian Romanticism. A friend of Edvard Grieg, she was an accomplished concert performer and gave recitals throughout Europe, before deafness, which struck her at the age of thirty, pushed her towards teaching and composition. In this field, her favorites were the voice and the piano, to which she offered miniatures of refined lyricism, in which the nature and landscapes of her native Norway are often the reflection of states of the soul. Her highly personal imagination, imbued with a Scandinavian melancholy that is both harsh and sensitive, permeates all the pieces brought together here by Karen Vourc’h and Anne Le Bozec.
