Music Matters

Grieg and Norwegian identity

Sunday 15 October 2006 17:45-18:30 (Radio 3)

Tom Service investigates the relationship between the music of Grieg and the landscape of his native Norway, as a new book is published looking at Grieg and Norwegian identity. Grieg also spent half a year of his life in London, so Tom explores how his time in England had a far greater influence on his life than previously thought.

Plus pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard talks about his life in music as his latest CD of Schumann is released, and news of the UK's first ever Bachelor of Music degree in Indian classical music.
