1. Edvard Grieg (English Heritage). Excerpt:

In the 1880s and 1890s Grieg was in great demand among English audiences as both conductor and performer, making his first public appearance in London at the Philharmonic Society Concert at St James’s Hall in May 1888. His concerts were usually sold out. Audiences included royalty and members of the aristocracy: the Prince and Princess of Wales attended two of his recitals in 1889, he gave a recital for Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle in 1897, and in 1906 Grieg and his wife – the singer Nina Hagerup (1845–1935) – performed informally for King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra

During their visits to London, Grieg and his wife stayed at the home of Grieg’s publisher, George Augener (1830−1915), at 47 Clapham Common North Side (formerly 5 The Cedars). Part of two matching blocks of enormous houses in the French Renaissance style that flank the entrance to Cedars Road, it was built in 1860 to designs by James Thomas Knowles junior. The Norwegian flag is said to have been flown outside when the composer was in residence.
