Product Description

The Guardian, (Andrew Clements), May 30, 2008

(4 stars) His Elgar sonata is by turns confidential and quick-witted, perfectly shaded and full of sweet-sour regrets.

Album Description

Although Grieg and Elgar did not physically cross paths (they neither met nor corresponded), there are enough biographical and musical parallels to beg the question as to why the relationship between them has been largely overlooked. It is these points of contact that makes the combination of these two works on this recording particularly apposite. One has only to consider the similarity in their status not merely as 'nationalistic composers' but as important national figures. There are also various biographical parallels: they shared several mutual friends of whom the English composer Frederick Delius is the most notable, Elgar received an honorary doctorate at Oxford University in 1905, Grieg received the same award a year later; during the first orchestral broadcast of Elgar's music in 1923, the accompanying piece in the program was Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. Quite apart from these historical parallels there are many mutual points of contact in their compositions, particularly in the case of the two sonatas performed on this CD, one being that the completion of both sonatas coincided with a distancing of their respective writers from the musical nationalism for which they were most associated.

The young English violinist Charlie Seim has already appeared with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Mozart Players. Having studied at Cambrdge University and the Royal College of Music, he is now under the tutelage of the renowned virtuoso Schlomo Mintz. Born in 1986, the Russian pianist Andrei Korobeinikov has won more than 20 prizes in different national and international competitions, including first prize at the Alexander Scriabin International Piano Competition in 2004.

A friend played this for me and I just had to have a copy for myself. The Elgar is one of my favourite pieces and I have never heard it played so beautifully. The Grieg was new to me and it was overwhelming.
