Grieg Folk and Dance Melodies, Piano Concerto – A Naxos Musical Journey

The haunting Scandinavian terrain; cascading waterfalls; cliffs towering above fjords below; majestic mountains; the tranquil countryside — these are the sights of inspiration for Norway’s greatest and most famed Composer Edward Grieg.

This volume of the NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY takes us floating over the awe-inspiring Norwegian natural landscape; to the bustling fish-market town of Bergen; through the concert halls and monuments that echo with the history of Grieg’s native music; to an intimate view of Grieg’s private home, first inspired by Nordic mythology. Grieg’s charming and evocative classical and folk melodies carry the viewer through this mysterious and wondrous land. As magical and enduring as the music itself.
