Grieg\u00b4s lesser known choral works<\/p>\n
Choral music plays a marginal role in Edvard Grieg\u00b4s production. Grieg developed his personal style primarily through his piano works, his songs and his chamber music. Most of his choral works have also been overshadowed by the \u201cPiano Concerto in A minor\u201d, the \u201cPeer Gynt\u201d music and the \u201cLyric Pieces\u201d for piano. Many of his choral works are seldom performed, and, with the exception of \u201cTwo Religious Choruses\u201d and \u201cFour Psalms\u201d, the work on this recording by the Oslo Philharmonic Chorus have never before been recorded. This disc is also the first to present such a wide range of Grieg\u00b4s compositions of unaccompanied voices. <\/p>\n
It is the Oslo Phiharmonic Choir, the young choir Gli Scapoli (or, \u201cThe Bachelors\u201d), baritone Per Vollestad and tenor Kjell Magnus Sandve, and conductor Stefan Sk\u00f8ld, who performs Grieg\u00b4s choral works on this album, ensuring the high quality these works both demands and deserves. Spanning Grieg\u00b4s entire career \u2013 from the \u201cDona nobis pacem\u201d written during his student years in Leipzig, to the last piece Grieg ever wrote, \u201cFour Psalms\u201d \u2013 these works are a treasure chest of beautiful music just waiting to be rediscovered.<\/p>\n
