Young Elling

BETWEEN GERMAN ROMANTICISM AND NORWEGIAN FOLK TUNES A number of recordings in recent years bear witness to a revival of interest in the music of Catharinus Elling – a composer who lived around the same time as Grieg and who, like Grieg, studied in Germany. Now, critically acclaimed and Grammy - nominated Marianne Beate Kielland and Nils Anders Mortensen have added to the Elling discography with their recording of songs by the young Elling, written while he was still living in Germany.
