Suite No. 3 played by Frank Merrick (piano)

This is the first of two recitals of Scandinavian music by Frank .Merrick, who is shortly to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his first recital in London. Gunnar de Frumerie, one of the leading Swedish composers of today, wrote his Piano Suite No. 3 in 1948. It consists of six movements: Introduction, Fugue, Saraband, Gavotte and Musette, and Reprise, leading to the final Tarantella. On March 16 Frank Merrick will play works by two Norwegian composers: Fartein Valen, who died last December at the age of sixty-five, and Harald Saeverud, who was born in Bergen in 1897.
