Free Music Notes for Grieg: Peer Gynt
Free Music Review: A Wonderful Recording
Hit: 5 Stars
It's the best. The quality of the recording, the completeness. I don't like to listen to it casually when I am doing something else; it is so involving, I like to give it my full attention.Free Music Review: Peer Gynt - Paavo Järvi
Hit: 5 Stars
Paavo Järvi is for me one of the best living conductor
This CD ist ok, and I got it very quickly
Free Music Review: Passionate
Hit: 4 Stars
The story line gives the listener a guide to follow the music, but the score leaves out the connections for the listener to only imagine the performance. The music is passionate and descriptive and introduces the listener to the singing voices of parts of the presentation that are left out in the "Suite." I appreciate hearing it over and over.Free Music Review: Good-enough readings but outstanding sound
Hit: 3 Stars
I don't find that Paavo Jarvi and his Estonian forces have much to say in the familiar numbers from Peer Gynt. You must turn to Beecham for sheer delight in famous numbers like In The Hall of the Moutain King, Morning, Anitra's Dance, and so on. Where this recording scores is in the unfamiliar numbers; Peter Matteo's excellent rendition of the little-known Peer Gynt's Serenade is one highlight, as is the convincingly crude folk fiddling that begins half a dozen numbers.
Secondly, there's the sound. The engineers have achieved quite exceptinally clear, open sonics that I've never heard the like of in Peer Gynt. Even when Jarvi's conducting is ordinary and his Estonian musician ae playing at far less than virtuosic level, the gorgeous sounds coming out of one's speakers remain alluring. As far as completeness goes, the Ruud 2-CD set from Bis is unchallenged.
