Although not all Ole Kristian Ruud and the Bergen Philharmonic's recordings of the orchestral music of Grieg have been entirely successful -- their disc of the string orchestra works was restrained to the point of sedated, hardly a characteristic of Grieg's music -- this disc of Grieg's supremely well-known Peer Gynt Suites coupled with three far ...
For the 42nd entry in its The Romantic Piano Concerto series (is it already really that many?!), Hyperion travels to the chilly land of Norway. The one and only piano concerto from this region of the world -- and it is a very famous one -- that automatically comes to mind is Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, a youthful, formally ...

The first of those recordings was this coupling of Grieg's A minor Concerto and Liszt's A major Concerto ...
Ole Kristian Ruud's distinguished series of recordings of the orchestral works of Grieg is augmented here with a disc containing the opera fragment Olav Trygvason, the dramatic scene At the Cloister Gate, plus seven songs for orchestra. With the participation of four different vocal soloists, three different choirs, and the Bergen Philharmonic ...
Way back in 1979 when Bis was just starting out as a label, they released a wonderful disc of all Grieg's works for string orchestra by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra under Terji Tønnesen. Twenty-six years later, Bis, by that time one of the biggest little labels in the world, released a disc of the nearly the same music by the Bergen ...
Cellist Alban Gerhardt had previously released two discs in Hyperion's Romantic Cello Concertos series: one from 2004, of Dohnányi, Enescu, and d'Albert, and one from 2007, featuring Schumann, Volkmann, Dietrich, and Gernsheim. Since the music on those discs was mediocre or worse, this coupling of Prokofiev's Cello Concerto and Symphony-Concerto ...
Recorded between 2002 and 2004, this eight-disc set contains the complete orchestral music of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. This includes works one would expect -- the Peer Gynt Suites, the Lyric Suite, Symphonic Dances, the Symphony in C minor, and so on -- works one might expect -- the Piano Concerto, the Holberg Suite, and the other string ...
