This album presents a collection of Edvard Grieg's works for string orchestra, composed between 1880 and 1899. Grieg skillfully arranged pieces originally written for piano and voice, capturing the essence of Norwegian folk music and classical forms. Highlights include The Holberg Suite, celebrating the 200th anniversary of playwright Ludvig Holberg, and Two Elegiac Melodies, which express deep emotion through string arrangements of Grieg’s vocal works. Performed by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra under Terje Tønnesen, these pieces reflect Grieg’s mastery of orchestration and his ability to blend traditional and romantic elements.
