Phillip Sear plays a captivating tango by the Norwegian composer Trygve Torjussen (1885-1977). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The long-lived Norwegian pianist, composer and music critic, Trygve Torjussen (1885-1977) studied in Oslo, Stuttgart and Rome. In the UK he was marketed in the early 20th century as a successor to Grieg, but he does not seem to have achieved enduring popularity here. His most-played pieces date from the 1910s, but I would imagine that this piece (which appears in a Danish compilation album) would be later. While tangos may not be immediately associated with Scandinavia, one should remember that one of the most famous tangos of all, 'Jalousie' was written by a Dane - Jacob Gade.
