Daniel Gortler - Edvard Grieg: Lyric Pieces (Selection) CD

With his "Lyric Pieces" Edvard Grieg kept a kind of poetic piano diary: between 1867 and 1901 he wrote 66 short character pieces, which were published in ten booklets. Pieces such as "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen", "Train of Dwarfs" or "To Spring" are among Grieg's most famous works ever. In addition to these quite virtuoso pieces, however, there are also numerous simpler dances and melodies that can be mastered and successfully performed by piano students at a fairly early age. The Israeli-American pianist Daniel Gortler has selected his personal 21 favourites of the "Lyric Pieces" for his debut album on Prospero Classical.
