Description: After symphonies from Sterling and piano music from this label, Toccata Classics now turns to an important song-writer, who, like Grieg, takes the melodies and rhythms of Norwegian folk music to create songs on various Nordic and German texts; his later ones are also evidence of his familiarity with Debussy and French Impressionism. Swedish, German, Norwegian-English texts. Ann-Beth Solvang (mezzo), Erling R. Eriksen (piano).
