Grieg: Complete Music ... - Paola Del Negro Roberto Plano - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) is without doubt the most significant Norwegian composer. He was educated at the Leipzig Conservatory, where his early models were Schubert and Schumann. Later, in his early twenties, he developed an affinity for Norwegian peasant culture thanks to the influence of the great Norwegian musician Ole Bull. That effected a major change in his musical outlook, and for the rest of his life he immersed himself in Norwegian literature and folk music, placing him firmly in the ranks of the nationalist composers that characterized the second half of the 19th century. He was surrounded and fascinated by Norway’s breath-taking fjords, mountains, forests and lakes; even when not directly quoting folk materials, the harmonies, rhythms, and melodic nuances of that tradition deeply influenced his musical style and approach.

This new recording presents Grieg’s complete works for piano 4-hands. They consist of arrangements by the composer himself of his most popular works: the two Peer Gynt Suites, the Norwegian Dances and Nordic Melodies, music of great originality, beauty and power, wonderfully written for the piano, using its full coloristic resources
