Free Music Notes for Grieg: Complete Music with Orchestra [Box Set]

Free Music Review: An Excellent Set of Even Quality
Hit: 5 Stars

If it's by Grieg and involves the orchestra, it's here.

Deutsche Grammophon has in every case deferred to Neeme Järvi's recording of any given work. This leads to a consistence that makes this boxed set a sure-fire success. Granted, not every recording here is the *best* of each work, but each recording is well up to Järvi's (and DG's) high standards. None are sub-par; all are worth your time.

More than most composers, Grieg seems to be the target of "too much of a good thing" arguments. This is more or less bunk, though someone who only knows the Peer Gynt suites may be a bit overwhelmed by this complete set.

Peer Gynt is marred by lack of texts. The Norwegian dialogue is so-so. (It can be omitted with some labor by using a program such as FreeRip to copy the music to your computer without the dialogue.) The only place where the dialogue (narration, technically) is actually tiresome is in Bergliot, Op. 42. I do not listen to it much as a consequence.

The mainly choral work Olav Trygvason, Op. 50, proved to be one of the greatest finds in the set. The music is exciting and on occasion chilling. The three soloists are well up to the task of conveying the paganistic fervor of this piece.. Another gem is the Funeral March in Memory of Rikard Nordraak. It is packed with the emotional depth that one would expect after Grieg lost one of his close friends. (It was Nordraak that encouraged Grieg to invest his energy in Norwegian music. We may be thankful for that.)

All six discs are incredibly well filled, each between 72 and 74 minutes in length. DG attains consistently fine sound throughout.

Overall, this set is of the highest quality--both in sound and in performance. Though some performances (the Piano Concerto and parts of Peer Gynt) have probably been bested, this set makes a splendid base of any Grieg collection, offering unalloyed pleasure to anyone who enjoys Grieg and his art.
