Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Between 1867 and 1901, Grieg published 10 books of "Lyric Pieces" for solo piano. From these, Leif Ove Andsnes has drawn a representative selection of 24 melodies from the first, "Arietta", to the final, "Remembrances". While Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor is known the world over (Andsnes has made a celebrated recording) these highly expressive pieces span virtually the length of the composer's career, revealing a poetic sensibility midway between Chopin and Debussy. In so far as Grieg drew inspiration from his native folk music, the pieces illustrate a benign nationalism, and in the same way Andsnes carries the expectation of being a "Norwegian" artist with a refined musicality, refusing to unnecessarily romanticise what is in the main simple, lyrical music. Indeed, apart from the playfulness of the "March of the Trolls" and the exuberant "Homeward" and "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen", there is a wonderful impressionistic quality throughout this very satisfying recording. Andsnes finds a lucid questioning in "Illusion" and more pastoral qualities in "The Brook" and "Evening in the Mountains", aspects of Norway still being expressed two generations later by composer Geirr Tveitt. Andsnes is the first Norwegian pianist to attain international stature, and playing this music on his compatriot's own Steinway gives this first-rate recital an unrivalled authenticity. --Gary S Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle, soothing music that shock-proofs the soul, 23 Nov 2002
By Dobester (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I'll leave the technical jargon and expert knowledge to Amazon's own reviewer, and just add that this music is beautiful, light and uplifting. To prepare yourself for the daily struggle with snarling traffic, uncaring bosses or cloddish colleagues, play this before you don your armour and unlock the front door.

Mr Andsnes' performance is exquisite, the atmosphere caught in the recordings will transform your living room into a tranquil Nordic study, and the fact that it has all been played and recorded as Grieg would have heard it himself adds to the near-magic of the disc. An absolute stunner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leif Ove Andsnes, 28 Nov 2002
By A Customer
I saw Leif Ove Andsnes in concert and he played some of the Grieg Lyric Pieces. I was so impressed by his playing and the music that I purchased the CD from you. It is one of my favourites. He has a wonderful technique and such crisp playing, especially at speed but always maintains the spirit of the music and the quiter pieces have such feeling. He has to be my favourite pianist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Leif Ove Andsnes, 5 Jul 2003
The excellent performance of Andsnes makes Griegs piano music go straight to your hearth. These are some of the best pieces by Grieg which Andsnes has recorded using Griegs old Steinway at Troldhaugen, Griegs home in Bergen.The majority of the music performed was composed here, and Andsnes delivers the Lyrical pieces with flair,intimacy,and the style which is his trademark.All done on a piano with a very rich middle register considering its age. It is just to sit back and relax as the music fills your hearth and soul.

This is a very good CD from Leif Ove Andsnes, but if you will have all of these pieces go for Einar Steen-Nøkleberg on Naxos. Better sound on The Naxos cds. Read more
