Overview

Grieg drew inspiration for many of his songs from verse by outstanding German poets, Heine and Goethe among them.

Carolyn Sampson opens her recital with the Norwegian composer’s Op. 48 collection, distinguished by their folk-like charm and elegance. She also turns to Debussy, Fauré and Poulenc for a compelling survey of French song from the late 1870s to the cycle Fiançailles pour rire of 1939.
