Lyric Pieces Op. 54 on historical piano [ Ссылка ]
Attached to the popular roots of his homeland, Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) is the emblematic Norwegian composer of the second half of the nineteenth century. Like many creators of the romantic era, he was attracted to both large musical forms and short compositions. The intimate, poetic, and humble character of the Lyric Pieces has always fascinated me. This lovely collection of character-pieces goes against a grandiose deployment of the piano by adopting a simple and concise structure. Each miniature offers a unique soundscape that reveals Grieg’s secret and inner personality. Inspired by Norwegian mystical creatures and folk idioms, they are a testament to his country’s soul and to the wonders of the surrounding nature.
