Description
Soprano Claire Booth and pianist Christopher Glynn trace an arc through Edvard Grieg's Lyric Music, interspersing vocal miniatures with solo piano pieces that range in mood from bright, youthful innocence to shades of autumnal twilight.
Following their acclaimed collaboration in Percy Grainger's Folk Music (AV2372), soprano Claire Booth and pianist Christopher Glynn turn to the Lyric Music of Edvard Grieg, an apt sequel as the elder composer befriended Grainger – who idolised the Norwegian's folkloric idiom – immediately on their first encounter in London in 1906. Interspersing intimate vocal miniatures with lyrical solo piano pieces, Claire and Christopher mirror many of the programmes that Grieg and his wife Nina performed on their many recital tours together. Each of the works on Lyric Music tells a story, as does the album as a whole, ranging in mood from bright, youthful innocence to shades of autumnal twilight. Sung in the original Norwegian, Claire's and Christopher's performances are as evocative as Norway's varied landscape.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"it's that sparkle that they give, it's the care, it's the attention to detail, it's the love of the music and the incredible characters that they manage to draw out of every song that makes this disc really quite a stand out" - BBC Radio 3's Record Review, Best of 2017 (on Percy Grainger Folk Music, AV2372)
"disarming and engaging" - The Guardian
"great verve and passion" - Reader's Digest
"Few singers alive can spin a yarn like Booth can, especially with her regular pianist Glynn ... Booth's voice is a character that transfixes all by itself." - Gramophone
