Edvard Grieg Essentials

Edvard Grieg Essentials

Loved the world over for his music to Peer Gynt and his Piano Concerto, Grieg wrote melodies that capture the imagination and touch the heart. A fine pianist and inspiring conductor, he managed to fuse music that captured the Norwegian spirit with a truly international language; it made him a national hero. Apart from his "pops," he gave us a trio of wonderful violin sonatas, two fine string quartets, and a vast amount of piano music. And don't overlook his vocal music—he wrote some absolutely gorgeous songs.
