Grieg (1843-1907)

Description:

This long-awaited box of Grieg's fascinating solo piano music, from his well-known Lyric Pieces to the unfinished section of his Second Piano Concerto, the first edition of his Piano Sonatas, and the "Norwegian Melodies (152 total)," recorded here for the first time, is now available! Grieg is a very pianistic composer. Many of the pieces require a very high level of technique. This is the definitive recording by Einar Steen-Nokleberg, one of Norway's leading pianists and an authority on Grieg's music. His 14 albums of Grieg's complete solo piano music (at the time of recording) continue to impress listeners more than 20 years after their release. Naxos Japan
