Peer Gynt Suite No1 for Piano - Op46

Edvard Grieg

Sinopsis

"Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46" by Edvard Grieg is a masterful orchestral work that has captivated audiences since its publication in 1888. This suite, along with Suite No. 2, Op. 55, which followed in 1893, originated from the incidental music Grieg composed for Henrik Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt." The original score, Op. 23, contains 26 movements that beautifully capture the essence of Ibsen's dramatic narrative.
In creating the first suite, Grieg selected four movements that stand out for their vivid characterizations and memorable melodies. These movements are: Morning Mood (Morgenstemning) in E major: Known for its serene and pastoral opening, this piece evokes the tranquility of a sunrise with its gentle, flowing melodies. It has become one of Grieg's most recognizable works. The Death of Åse (Åses død) in B minor: A somber and deeply emotional piece, it portrays the sorrowful moments surrounding the death of Åse, Peer Gynt's mother, with a touching and introspective melody. Anitra's Dance (Anitras dans) in A minor: This lively and exotic dance reflects the encounter between Peer Gynt and Anitra. Its rhythmic and playful character contrasts with the other more somber movements of the suite. In the Hall of the Mountain King in B minor: Perhaps the most famous piece in the suite, this movement is characterized by its increasing tempo and intensity, depicting Peer Gynt's encounter with the Mountain King and his subsequent flight from the trolls.
Grieg's music for "Peer Gynt" is notable for its incorporation of Norwegian folk elements and its vivid storytelling through orchestral color. The suite's popularity is a testament to Grieg's ability to distill the essence of the larger work into these concise, yet richly expressive pieces. The piano arrangements of these movements, while maintaining the essence of the orchestral originals, offer a more intimate rendition that captures the nuances of Grieg's musical language.

Alyn Shipton

Few musical genres inspire the passionate devotion of jazz. Its mystique goes far beyond the melodies and rhythms, with its key players and singers discussed by aficionados with a respect that borders on reverence.

One of the most influential and internationally known writers on the subject describes, through vivid personal contacts, reminiscences and zesty anecdotes, his life in jazz as a player, broadcaster and observer. Alyn Shipton recalls friendships with legendary musicians, while revealing fresh discoveries about such luminaries as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Abbey Lincoln and Geri Allen. On Jazz powerfully evokes the atmosphere of clubs and dancehalls, and takes us behind the scenes and up onto the stage, so that this electrifying world is unforgettably spotlighted as never before.
