Erling R Eriksen (piano)About
He began his career as an organist, accompanist and choral conductor in Oslo, first attracting attention as a composer in 1891. But his output remained small, due to financial hardship and the demands of his professional commitments - he is best known for his hymn arrangements and art-song.
He was also deeply engaged in Norwegian musical life, including positions as president of the Norwegian Composers’ Union, president of TONO, the organisation which protects the rights of Norwegian composers, and a member of the Norwegian Chorale-book Committee.
His piano music shows the influence of Grieg and, likewise, marries an essentially lyric style with the melodies and rhythms of Norwegian folk-music; the later pieces add an awareness of Debussy and French impressionism.
The works on this CD – none of them recorded before – have an immediate appeal and easy charm, as well as occasional stormy virtuosity.
