Grieg [Hagerup], Nina
(b Bergen, 24 Nov 1845; d Copenhagen, 9 Dec 1935). Norwegian singer. She was a cousin of Edvard Grieg, whom she married on 11 June 1867. Her parents were Herman Hagerup (a brother of Grieg’s mother) and the Danish actress Madame Werligh. When she was eight they moved to Denmark and settled near Elsinore. She studied singing under Carl Helsted and developed a fineness of artistry that more than compensated for the small power of her voice. She became the most sensitive interpreter of Grieg’s songs, and the joint recitals she gave with her husband in various European countries, including England, were highly successful. Delius dedicated two sets of songs to her in 1888–90. Nina Grieg was also an able pianist. In later years, after she had finished her singing career, she instructed young singers in Grieg’s songs and occasionally accompanied them in recitals. Especially after her husband’s death, she did much to promote Grieg’s compositions, particularly his songs.
