Geir Inge Lotsberg and Einar Steen-Nøkleberg performs an excellent interpretation of Grieg`s three sonatas for violin and piano.

Three magnificent sonatas

In this recording Violinist Geir Inge Lotsberg and pianist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg does Edvard Griegs three sonatas which he himself characterized as: “the first, naive, rich in ideals, the second, national and the third with a wider horizon”.

Together they perform an excellent interpretation of the different expressions used by Grieg in these compositions. He gives an introduction to the typical German romantic style but also with Norwegian touches before he continues with influences from the Norwegian folk dance “Springar” and the movements from the Hardanger fiddle.

Lotsberg and Steen-Nøkleberg highlights Griegs rhythmic thouch and his musical surprises in an outstanding manner.
