Eva Knardahl interprets Grieg’s masterpiece<\/p>\n
According to Arthur Rubinstein, Rachmaninov once said that Grieg\u00b4s \u201cPiano Concerto\u201d was the best ever written. Grieg himself was not quite as bombastic in the year the concerto was composed (1868), when he said in his modest way that he had \u201cwritten a concerto for piano and orchestra which I believe contains good things.\u201d Little did he know that he was about to create a concerto that would eventually stand as the major work in the history of Norwegian music. To this very day, the \u201cPiano Concerto\u201d remains a tonal realization of national-romantic Norway. <\/p>\n
In this recording one you will find Eva Knardahl\u00b4s and The Lithuanian National Symphony Orcehstra\u00b4s version of the huge success that is Grieg\u00b4s A minor concerto. Eva Knardahl has made herself noted as one of Norway\u00b4s premier pianists, with a long and copious career which includes everything from a range of recordings and concert tours to radio and TV performances. On this album one also finds pieces from seven of the ten collections of Grieg\u00b4s \u201cLyrical pieces\u201d \u2013 a major contribution to the diminutive art of Romanticism. Rather than compiling all of the most well-known examples such as \u201cTroll Parade\u201d, \u201cBell Chime\u201d or \u201cWedding Day at Troldhaugen\u201d, pianist Eva Knardahl has selected a number of pieces that are not so frequently played, although they obviously should be.<\/p>\n
