GRIEG Music for string orchestra
Malmö Symphony Orchestra • Bjarte Engeset
grieg’s beautiful works for string orchestra often owe their origin to poetic inspiration or
to mountain vistas. some were based on piano originals, including the Holberg Suite,
a masterpiece of invention. all of these pieces show grieg’s assimilation of norwegian
folk culture and his lyrical mastery, through which he sought to ‘give expression to
the hidden harmonies in our folk melodies’. Volume 4 in this series (8.570236) was
described as containing ‘performances as fine as any in the catalogue. these are
gorgeous, perfectly paced and thrillingly recorded’. (ClassicsToday.com)
