Outstanding Grieg from Ellen Westberg Andersen<\/p>\n
The award-winning soprano Ellen Westberg Andersen presents togehter with one of Norway\u00b4s most established pianists, Jens Harald Bratlie, some of Grieg\u00b4s finest music set to poems on this album. Together they masterfully evoke the depth that is inherent in Grieg\u00b4s successful marriage between poems and music. With these songs Grieg shows that he undoubtedly had a masterful grip on the genre, from the six Ibsen-poems, via Vilhelm Krag\u00b4s poems, to one of the most beautiful song-cycles ever written for the female voice: Haugtussa, written by Arne Garborg.<\/p>\n
Westberg Andersen and Bratlie manage to communicate some of the most wonderful songs from the Norwegian romantic tradition in a brilliant way \u2013 not surprising considering their background. Westberg Andersen debuted in Oslo in 1978 after studies at music academies in L\u00fcbeck and \u00c5rhus, and has performed on several german operastages, amongst them Dortmund, L\u00fcbeck og at the St\u00e4dtische Freiburg. She was a guest performer at the Norwegian Opera between 1985-1990 as Musette in \u00abLa Boh\u00e8me\u00bb, Margaretha in \u00abFaust\u00bb and as Susanna in \u00abThe Marriage of Figaro\u00bb. In 1978 she received the Possehl-prize and in 1984 she received the Edvard Grieg-prize.<\/p>\n
