[Norway] Episode 12: Christian Sinding, the Black Sheep of Norwegian Music History

Send us a text

Today we kick off a two-part series re-evaluating late-19th century composers whose legacies were forever marred by the Nazi occupation of Norway. In this episode, we talk about Christian Sinding, who, in his own time, was considered an equal of Grieg and Svendsen despite having nothing to do with Norwegian nationalism or patriotism and most of his success coming from Germany. Do you think Sinding's legacy deserves a second look? Listen in and decide for yourself!
