• Edvard Grieg: Peer Gynt (selection)

If Edvard Grieg is Norway's best-known composer, Peer Gynt is his most outstanding work. It originates from the play of the same name by the playwright Henrik Ibsen, Grieg's compatriot and friend, who commissioned him to write the incidental music for this unusual story, which narrates the adventures of an extravagant, anti-bourgeois character. The composer musically recreates the world through which the light-hearted protagonist travels: Nordic and oriental soundscapes place Peer before the grief over the death of his mother Aase, the encounter with the trolls or the abduction of his bride Ingrid. Grieg made two orchestral suites of the work, which are the ones that are usually performed and which allow for different readings: descriptive music for an adventure story or music that goes deep into the human heart.
