Grieg: Piano Concerto; Symphonic Dances [Hybrid SACD] [SACD]
Editorial Reviews
Album Description
In his own words, Grieg aspired to paint Norwegian nature, Norwegian folk-life, Norwegian history and Norwegian folk-poetry in music. In Autumn sees Grieg take inspiration from the forces of nature, both life-giving and destructive, whether it be from the farmers harvest celebrations or he ensuing death and decay, while the Symphonic Dances make extensive use of Norwegian folk-melodies. Indeed it has often been said that the famous Piano Concerto has an lement of untamed wildness in its opening timpani roll followed by the cascading chimes of the piano. Whatever its inspiration, this cornerstone of the piano repertoire remains one of most enduringly-popular of all concertos on account of its profusion of inspired melodies, noble eloquence and poetic vitality.

Customer Reviews:
It's all here.......2006-04-14
Norwegian-born Edvard Grieg has created many works for the orchestra, and this 6-CD box set contains almost all of them. Neeme Jarvi handles the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the choirs very well. The sound is crystal clear and has the perfect digital sound for every CD player/stereo.
For the long works, the Piano Concerto is attention-grabbing and beautiful. The Symphonic Dances and the Norwegian Dances are lively and tremendously extraordinary. The lesser-known Symphony in C Minor should be more recognized, as it is as powerful as other symphonies, like Mahler's first and Beethoven's sixth. For the short works, In Autumn and Landkjenning can be best described as sheer masterpieces.
For Peer Gynt, it is good to hear the first digitally-recorded authentic version. The suite version is just not enough for that full listening experience. NOTE: if you want to buy a Peer Gynt that includes the complete dialogue, I would recommend conductor Ole Kristian Ruud's version with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra; the dialogue lengthens the 90-minute work by two hours.
To know the rest is to listen to them straight through. All the works in this box set (especially the Piano Concerto) should be a possession for all Grieg-lovers.
A+
An excellent box-set.......2003-08-30
This box-set a must have for any Grieg lovers.
Neeme Jarvi is very good.
In first CD, there is a powerful performance of Piano Concerto by Zilberstein.She is also great in F.Liszt recordings (at DG Classics). In second CD, works for string orchestra (including, famous Holberg Suite) to be found. And in 3rd and 4th CDs, marvellous recordins of Peer Gynt and Sigurd Jorsalfar (Sigurd, the Crusader)to be found.This works are the first recordings of complete score. Still, speakers to be present at Peer Gynt.And Funeral March for R. Nordraak is very influence in 4th CD.The wind ensemble of Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra is very good...
In 5th CD, there is an unknown work by Grieg: Symphony in C-minor. This work written in early period, but didn't perfomed often. Still, this work's name is "Forbidden Symphony"...And then, a majestic work "Land-Sighting" to be found. This is very successful choral work of composer and he written in a heavenly tone:E Major...And then, there is an unknown work again, an incomplete opera: "Olav Trygvason"... Grieg written this work on a libretto by his friend, Bjornson (a famous poet of Norway), but he could finish first act...
And in last CD, there are other vocal works, and his beatiful work: "Old Norwegian Melody with Variations". And then, 5 Songs to be found. This songs originally written for voice and piano (like other many songs) but he later orchestrated these works.And the first song "The First Meeting" was discovered in 80's and still, they used a new edition, published from new founded manuscript, so this is the first recording of Grieg's beatiful song.
In other words: this box-set is excellent and Highly recommended.
Wonderful recordings, slightly marred by lack of texts.......2003-04-09
Jarvi has been a fine advocate of Scandinavian music over the last 30 years. Even of those such as Grieg and Sibelius who you would think no longer needed advocacy. Most of these recordings were warmly welcomed on their releases and several won awards. And it's nothing but a pleasure to see them reappear again. The orchestral playing is sumptuous, but the real stand out is the singing of Barbara Bonney on several CDs.
This is now the fourth or fifth release for some of these CDs, first came the individual volumes, then the full price box, then releases on budget DG Classikon, and now a Collector's Edition box at half the price, but sadly minus the texts to CDs 2,3 and 6. This won't matter so much in the orchestral songs, CD6, where the texts to Bergtekne, Bergliot etc. are available in other releases or on the Lieder web page, but CDs 2 and 3 are currently the only complete recording of Peer Gynt and the sung or spoken texts are not available outside sheet music collections. Personally (as someone more interested in the vocal music than the orchestral) I would try and locate the original volumes, but at least DG has given those who don't feel the extra expense is justified a cheaper option.
Further recommendation: Anne Sofie von Otter's recording of the Haugtussa song cycle.

Customer Reviews:
Greatest Collection of Classical I have........2006-12-14
I don't care much for compilation CDs. Usually they are someone else's favorite set of songs from that genre or composer. I usually like the songs, but when I get into listening to the other songs in the genre or by the same composer I find songs that I'm more fond of.
This collection is different.
I try not to be too generous with my top ratings in iTunes for songs, I don't give out a four or five stars to just anything, but many of the songs from this collection make up a good chunk of my top rated songs. I just love this collection.
This is not a good digital recording.......1999-07-27
There is a 'record player' hum in the background when you try to listen to various tracks on these CDs. The compilation is wonderful. The Quality of the recording is very disappointing. The outside of the album cover reads DDD which I thought to mean clean and clear all digital recording. Don't be deceived by the cover.
Average customer rating:
- Love It!
- Best of the Best
- GREAT compilation!!!
- Very well organized
- The greatest parts from all your favorites

Love It!.......2005-08-11
I first received this CD as a Christmas present more than 6 years ago. My old copy was too scratched to play any more. I was so happy to see that Amazon carried this CD, it has all the best classics on it!
Best of the Best.......2005-05-11
I listen to a variety of music from Cajun to classic rock, to classical---depending on my mood or the situation. This clasical ensemble truly encompasses some of the most hauntingly beautiful music ever to have been written by our civilization's most talented people. I never tire of listening to it.
GREAT compilation!!!.......1999-07-27
I can only wish that popular music (rock, rap, dance) compilers could take a hint from this album, and include only the GOOD songs. This has all of the well-known classical songs. I really wanted to get the title of a particular classical song, and I looked for 4 weeks on the Internet until I remembered I had this album. I put it in, and the second song, "O Fortuna", was it.
Very well organized.......1999-06-25
I really like to llisten your these MAD ABOUT series. However, I could not buy these series in Japan. Please let me now how to buy these series. And tell me what kind of albums you have in stock, and how much if I need air persel. Thanks.
The greatest parts from all your favorites.......1998-10-18
From 2001: A Space Odyssey's theme, to Beethoven's fifth, this CD has the all time best compilation of Classical and Romatic music I have ever heard. The only thing that comes close is Polygram's Really Mad About the Classics.

Customer Reviews:
All of Grieg's solid work on one 2-disc set.......2005-05-26
This 2-disc set has everything I love about Grieg all organized together: Piano Concerto -- The best piano concerto I have ever heard. Just amazing. The entire Peer Gynt Suite which also absolutely owns. Plus it has, my absolute favorite piece ever, on disc 2: The 4-part Symphonic Dances. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Wonderful collection....Plus a superb concerto.......2000-08-03
Like previous reviewers had all said, this is a fine set of CDs to introduce yourself to Grieg. What they failed to state, however, is how fortunate we are to have this particular recording of the piano concerto included among the other works. Why? The Kovacevich/Davic/BBCSO recording of the concerto is one the best performances of this work available. As he does in his distinguished set of Beethoven piano concertos, Kovacevich displays not only great virtuosity but also an excellent understanding of the music. Look elsewhere in the catalog, and you'll see that for the price you pay here you can probably only get the piano concerto coupled with some other concerto and maybe small fillers if you are lucky. Nowhere else will you again encounter this opportunity of getting some of Grieg's most popular works AND one of the most riveting performances of the piano concerto (which is, by the way, a work in the standard piano repetoire). Grab these two CDs as soon as you can. The remastered analog sound is as sumptuous as ever, if the 1970s recording dates are keeping you back.
An Excellent Introductory Set.......2000-05-02
I am a classical music neophyte and thoroughly enjoy this compilation. While he is not my favorite composer, many of Grieg's pieces are refreshing and timeless. I'm not an expert on the quality of the orchestral translation, but it sounds good to me. Hopefully the experienced classical reviewers will have mercy on this evaluation, but if you're looking for an intro to Grieg, this is great.
WAS A GRIEG A PIANO COMPOSER ONLY?.......2000-03-18
This collection is superb for the type of listener who has just been introduced to classical music. If you are, however, an avid classical music fan, in particular - a fan of Grieg - then this is not really the collection for you. The CD's do of course contain the piano concerto, Peer Gynt suites, the Holberg suite. However, it would have been nice to have seen some of Grieg's love songs on the collection. Most of the collection is extremely piano orientated.
The piano concerto is given a very fine performance. The soloist in question really gets to grips with the technical brilliance, and the expression of the music itself. Listen in particular to the first movement cadenza. And the ferociously difficult finale.
Just to sum up, this collection is a brilliant INTRODUCTION to Grieg. However, if you're already advanced into Grieg's musical output then try something more adventurous. The choice, however, remains yours!

Album Description
In his own words, Grieg aspired `to paint Norwegian nature, Norwegian folk-life, Norwegian history and Norwegian folk-poetry in music'. In Autumn sees Grieg take inspiration from the forces of nature, both life-giving and destructive, whether it be from the farmers' harvest celebrations or he ensuing death and decay, while the Symphonic Dances make extensive use of Norwegian folk-melodies. Indeed it has often been said that the famous Piano Concerto has an lement of untamed wildness in its opening timpani roll followed by the cascading chimes of the piano. Whatever its inspiration, this cornerstone of the piano repertoire remains one of most enduringly-popular of all concertos on account of its profusion of inspired melodies, noble eloquence and poetic vitality.
Customer Reviews:
"The" Grieg Disc.......2004-06-28
This is a marvelous disc of Grieg's orchestral music; in fact, I might go so far as to say it is my favorite. The couplings are oustanding: the famous Piano Concerto, the slightly less well-known Symphonic Dances, and the totally neglected overture, In Autumn. Each pieces complements the other and charts the progression of Grieg's talent in a field (orchestral music) that was not his greatest strength. Nevertheless, these pieces constitute his greatest achivement in the medium (minus the Peer Gynt music), and make for spellbinding listening--especially when they're playing with such fire and commitment.
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra is on top form under Bjarte Engeset, who is fast becoming one of my favorite conductors. The sound quality is excellent, and every piece shimmers and glows with remarkable intensity. I have MANY versions of the Piano Concerto, but I've really fallen for Havard Gimse's version, which is both reflective and virile in all the right places. The orchestral contribution is remarkable. They make a wonderful case for In Autumn as well, a gem of an overture which should be played more widely; it has wonderful tunes and the distinct thumbprint of Grieg throughout. Yet perhaps the true highlight of the disc is the Symphonic Dances, which blow away any other version I've ever encountered. This is the first version that made the dances seem truly "symphonic," instead of a lose string of lightweight melodies. The entire piece coheres beautifully, and I was completely blown away by the final dance, with its En Saga-ish echoes.
Luckily, this disc is entitled "Grieg Edition 1." I anxiously await the next volume! Again, this shows why Naxos is one of the most happening labels on the classical scene. Thanks for making me reevaluate Grieg's contribution to classical music.
My only criticism is the double cover. The disc itself has a magnificent painting by Nikolai Astrup which complements the music beauitfully. So why the slip cover with the romantic Scandinavian landscape? Is this a marketing ploy? It's a waste of cardboard...

Listen,Learn, & Grow: Playtime.......2007-05-14
The music is excellent, with high quality sound. Not irritating as some classical music can be. Plus the tempo's are varied which is great depending if you need something fast paced or more slow. Best of all, the kids enjoyed it!
Grandkids love it!.......2007-01-03
How to gently insert a little culture into the grandkids' lives without Mom freaking out.....send this set of CDs for Christmas. Dad's into heavy metal and Mom, although she has a long history of listening to Classical music as a child, is now into Country. Nothing wrong with that, but how are the three little ones going to hear any of the Classics with Grandma living more than 600 miles away? "Play this in the background while they're having creative time," said I, "and see if they don't enjoy it." When I talked with them a week later the 4 year old couldn't wait to tell me how much he liked the "playtime music" I'd sent him. The quality of the recording is good and the variety of rhythms and tempos make it interesting. Yes they're a little trite and you're going to have to explain that the theme to "the Bad News Bears" really is Classical, but that's okay. If they skipped the genius of Mozart as an infant, or even if they teethed to "the Magic Flute", these CDs will give them a taste of a variety of good music and who knows how far into the Classical realm it may send them as they mature?
