5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Sungu Okan (Istanbul, Istanbul Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peer Gynt (Audio CD)
These are the best recordings of both theater works.And these are the first complete and authentic recordings of both works. Still, Neeme Jarvi is a champion on interpretation of Grieg' s works and he has recorded complete works with orchestra of composer. (Actually, this 6-CD set is available and price of this set is very good, unbeatable: about 47$, and Peer Gynt and Sigurd have recorded in this set.) Other performers are excellent (ex. Speakers). Gothenborg Symphony is the best orchestra (with Stockholm Philharmonic) in Sweden. I like especially, in Peer Gynt: solos of Norwegian Fiddle, In the Hall of Mountain King, The Hunt of Trolls, Song of Solveig. And, Sigurd Jorsalfar (Sigurd the Crusader), like Peer Gynt, was based from Henrik Ibsen's play and this work is shorter than Peer Gynt (35 minutes, but duration of Peer Gynt is 85 minutes)... I think, the best movement of this work is, Homage March. This march tells about Coronation of Sigurd. And Fanfares of 5 horns (in beggining of work), is impressive and portrays there is a majestic Middle Age landscape with castles, woodlands... In other words, this is a must have for any Grieg admirers. Highlt recommended |
