"Insightful and affectionate performances of the rarely-heard Norwegian Folk Song arrangements of Grieg are a particular delight here. Grainger's Tchaikovsky is equally discerning." BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 ****

Grainger enjoyed a duo career as a concert pianist and composer. These recordings, taken from piano rolls, allow us to sample the uniqueness of Grainger's musicianship and skill. For those who have not experienced these piano roll recordings, this is a highly recommended starting point.
