The gaze is directed to the north and east in the recital that the soprano Anne Preuss and the pianist Markus Zugehre dedicate to Scandinavian and Russian composers on the threshold from Romanticism to Modernism. Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), who was a great role model for subsequent composers due to his elegant combination of Norwegian folklore sounds with progressive harmony, was still completely rooted in the romantic tradition. The most famous Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) was already actively trying to modernize the music by expanding the tonality, without, however, leaving the late romantic and native musical language as radically as the twelve-tone speakers achieved at the same time with absolute atonality. Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) also found himself exposed to constant criticism of his tonal compositional style, while he himself could not do anything with the advancing fashion towards atonality and certainly did not take his reputation as the last romanticist, shaped by critics, as an insult. Rachmaninoff could not share the general admiration for his progressive colleague Alexander Skrijabin, instead he adored his close friend Nikolai Medtner (1880-1951), whom he considered one of the greatest composers of the time - after all, Medtner also rejected the all too modern tendencies of the early 20th century and earned the nickname of a Russian Brahms by adhering to the German-Russian-romantic tradition. The deep love for romantic melodies, the richness of melodies, oriented towards the respective folklore, and the spherical sounds of their songs related to their homeland, in which song and piano merge, connect these four composers with one another. With a lot of dedication, Anne Preuss and Markus Zugehre spread a soundscape with the songs of Grieg, Sibelius, Rachmaninoff and Medtner and invite the audience to float together through the landscapes of Norway, Finland and Russia.
