Edvard Grieg: Piano Concerto in A Minor; Old Norwegian Melody With Variations; Two Lyric Pieces; in Autumn

Grant Johannesen, Utah Symphony Orchestra, Maurice Abravanel

The great popularity of Grieg's Piano Concerto contributed significantly to his fame and marked a high point in his early creative period. It is a truly romantic concerto with parallels to Schumann in its emphasis on melodic lines. The Overture Im Herbst is reminiscent of Mendelssohn, as it combines drama and the "combination of cheerful and serious elements" characteristic of the season. The Two Lyrical Pieces and the Old Norwegian Melody with Variations form an attractive mosaic of Norwegian moods.

The elite recordings for Vox by legendary producers Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz are among the best-sounding examples of orchestral recordings among audiophiles.
