Slatter and Stimmungen
Following the success of SOMM Recordings' reissue of Nielsen's piano music earlier this year, John McCabe's recordings of Edvard Grieg's piano pieces Slåtter Op 72 and Stimmungen Op 73 have been reissued on the same label. In a fascinating news article on the John McCabe website, Monica McCabe tells the story of John's chance discovery of the sheet music in a second-hand bookshop in Lichfield, and his subsequent recording of the music, thirty-seven years ago. The old Grieg tapes have now been very carefully restored, and the sound quality on SOMM's new disc (SOMMCD 0154) is very good.
