With a timeless, poignant, and beautiful work like "Haugtussa", it's sometimes easy to hear it as just music, where the text serves as a backdrop for Grieg's melodies. This concert performance offers a unique opportunity to experience the music with Garborg's magnificent text as the very starting point - the one that captivated Grieg so completely at the time. About "Haugtussa", he said: "It is an utterly brilliant book where the music is already composed. One just needs to write it down".

 

Unforunately, Eir Inderhaug has had to withdraw, but will be replaced by Isa Katharina Gericke.
