Various venues. Glasgow and Edinburgh. Thu 1—Thu 15 Nov
Almost exactly 110 years ago to the day. the music critic of the Scotsman newspaper reported: ‘It was a Grieg programme from beginning to end, yet it cannot be said that at any point it was lacking in interest and variety.’ What he was referring to was the famous Norwegian composer's one and only concert appearance in Edinburgh. As Grieg 100. a mini-festival in celebration of the centenary of the death of Edvard Grieg. gets underway. it is a line that critics could safely consider worthy of repeat. Not only is that same 1897 concert programme being replicated in its entirety. but two
others are being added to the mix.
Of Scottish descent - his grandfather was a Greig from Aberdeen who settled in Norway in the wake of Culloden — Grieg drew much inspiration from Norwegian folk music. Linking the two countries is Scottish composer James Clapperton. As a past artistic director of Bergen's Music Factory Festival and Composer in Residence at the Grieg Conservatory of Music. he is well placed to have written a new work for the ever surprising Mr McFall‘s Chamber (pictured). Taking an unfinished piano quintet by Grieg as his starting point. he has combined Norwegian folk tunes with what he describes as ‘a series of musical memory traces based upon certain rhythmic and harmonic cells taken from the Grieg.‘
For those who prefer their Grieg unadulterated, cellist Robert Irvine and pianist Graeme McNaught — who has been the driving force behind the festival - play the composer's powerful Cello Sonata in a programme that also includes music by the Australian composer, Percy Grainger, who was strongly influenced by Grieg and was one of the last visitors to his mountain home in Troldhaugen. ‘Grieg has always been a passion of mine‘ says McNaught. After Grieg 100. he'll surely have new converts to share it.
