Idil Biret - Grieg: Complete Orchestral Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Grieg Complete Orchestral Works - This boxed set of Grieg's complete orchestral works is a celebration of the composer's rich and multifaceted aesthetic. Grieg was an idealistic humanist whose music and writings underlined a harmony between humans and nature. The sense of nostalgia and 'postcard lyricism' often associated with him belies the wild energy also present in his music-it's primeval force, pessimistic emotions and tempestuous Romanticism. Thanks to Bjarte Engeset's carefully researched and widely admired performances, Grieg's complex musical universe can here be appreciated in full. Album Tracks 1.
