Jean-Baptiste Doulcet showcases three fascinating facets of Nordic piano music, from the epic Romanticism of Edvard Grieg (Ballade) and his incursion into neo-classicism (Holberg Suite), to the remarkable purity of Jean Sibelius’s Six Impromptus and ‘The Trees’, and the fierce modernism of Carl Nielsen’s Three Pieces op.59. Three contrasting visions of authentic music of the North.
