Grieg: Morning Mood from Peer Gynt
Grieg’s music is consistently characterized by strong impulses from the melodies, rhythms and sometimes embellishments of Norwegian folk music, personal and expressive harmony and inspiration from the moods and expressions of Norwegian nature. The combination of Ibsen’s mythic-poetic text and Grieg’s romantic music has made Peer Gynt Norway’s national drama above all others. Here you meet conductor Alain Altinoglu.
