Free Music Notes for Grieg: Peer Gynt

Free Music Review: Grieg's incidental music performed with the Ibsen play--a revelation
Hit: 5 Stars

This is one of several sets that give us Grieg's complete theater music to Peer Gynt, in this case imbedded in a truncated (2 hr.) version of Ibsen's play. The musical perfromance by Norwegian forces from Bergen is energetic and infectious, the recorded sound is hybrid SACD, excellent through my two-channel system but not a revelation.

What is a revelation is how much fascinating music has been left out of the customary Peer Gynt suites. Ibsen's play takes the tone of epic fantasy, with many archaic touches of folklore and suggestions of a primeval Nordic world seen through the eys of our boastful feckless hero. It's a world of demons, magical animals, and Munchausen-sized fable. Grieg's music depicts all these worlds wonderfully, and his songs and choruses are woven into the spoken dialogue to great effect. The spoken part sounds like a fairly histrionic radio play. Norwegian is a strange-sounding language to Anglo-Saxon ears, but that strangeness only adds to the mercurial fantasy. My only complaint is that no synopsis is provided, so one must follow the fast-moving dialogue, printed in minuscule type.
