The Addison/Smart Duo, together with Mark Carroll, reanimate in words and music the bond that formed, all too briefly, between Grainger (1882 – 1961) Australian born composer and pianist, and Grieg (1843 – 1907) Norwegian composer and pianist. To Grainger, Grieg epitomised the Nordic world view he so admired, while Grieg was for his part besotted with the strapping young Australian and his robust approach to his craft.
