Oct 20, 2014 | Sabine Wiedemann News Grieg Vol. IV: Herbert Schuch, Eivind Aadland & WDR Sinfonieorchester
Edvard Grieg's most popular work in combination with his least known piece: whilst the Piano Concerto in A minor was the 25-year-old composer's breakthrough to international fame, he had decided to withdraw his symphony, written only a few years previously. Yet every page of the score - despite overt influences of Schumann, Gade and Mendelssohn - convinces, thanks to Grieg's youthful inspiration and superb invention.
