About

Soprano Hendrickje van Kerckhove, accompanied by Nicolas Callot, performs emotive songs by Edvard Grieg.

Edvard Grieg and his wife, Nina, had one child, Alexandra, who sadly died at barely one year old. "It is hard to watch the hope of one's life lowered into the earth, and it took time and quiet to recover from the pain," Grieg wrote shortly after the funeral. "But thank God, if one has something to live for one does not easily fall apart; and art surely has ? more than many other things ? this soothing power that allays all sorrow!" As the lieder on this CD will attest, composing was one of the mechanisms that Grieg employed to help him cope with the dramatic events in his life, both ups and downs.

Belgian soprano Hendrickje Van Kerckhove studied with Bernadette Degelin at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp and fulfilled her vocal education with Susan Roper. She acquired post-graduates at the Flanders Opera Studio and the Queen Elisabeth Musical College (with José van Dam and Susanna Eken). Career highlights include Hendrickje Van Kerckhove's house debut at Grand Theater of Liceu as Blonde and at Theater an der Wien as Sister Constance (Dialogues des Carmélites). The latter opera house engaging her later as Maja in the world premiere of Die Besoeken by Johannes Kalizke and Najade in Ariadne auf Naxos.
