The Observer 25th January 1998
Thoughtful pairing of Grieg and Delius, linked by a friendship which lasted until Grieg’s death in 1907. The poetic repertoire suits Lloyd Webber’s eloquent playing. His Delius is lyrical, especially in the Serenade from Hassan. In Grieg’s fiery sonata, Lloyd Webber avoids false heroics in favour of passion. Forsberg is a sinewy, sensitive accompanist.
