Strongly influenced by Edvard Grieg, the work of Norweigan composer David Monrad Johansen (1888-1974) displays a curious mix of modernity (with its momentary atonality) and classicism, encompassing Beethoven as well as the French composers of the 20th century from Debussy to Poulenc, before turning towards neoclassicism rather unashamedly. Johansen was very politically incorrect and played a central role in musical nationalism around 1925, which then turned into complete support for fascism during the German occupation when he became an influential member of the Nazi-appointed Cultural Council. Unsurprisingly, his political beliefs and choices led to his persecution in his own country at the end of the war when he was convicted of treason and sentenced to four years of hard labour. His conservative approach to music was the cause of much opposition from young composers who came after him. However, his work is worth revisiting today, now that the dust has settled, as it embodies a pivotal moment for the Norwegian musical scene. The four works in chronological order on this album enable the listener to follow the evolution of a composer who assimilated many different European influences into his work. © François Hudry/Qobuz
