Edvard Grieg, Orchestr Vídeňské Státní Opery Řídí Hermann Scherchen - Peer Gynt

Review by Prabhat Man Shrestha

Peer Gynt is an orchestral suite composed by Edvard Grieg, which is based on Henrik Ibsen's play of the same name. The album features the Vienna State Opera Orchestra conducted by Hermann Scherchen. Grieg's music brings to life the various characters and scenes from Ibsen's play.

The orchestra's performance under Scherchen's guidance is exceptional. The musicians manage to capture the essence of each movement, bringing out the nuances of Grieg's composition. The music is both powerful and delicate, and the orchestra's dynamics are spot on.

The album features some of Grieg's most famous pieces, including "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Morning Mood." These pieces are well-known for their catchy melodies and have been used in various films and TV shows. However, the rest of the album is just as impressive, with each movement contributing to the overall story of Peer Gynt.

Summary by Prabhat Man Shrestha

Peer Gynt is a beautiful album that showcases Grieg's talent as a composer and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra's skill as musicians. Scherchen's conducting brings out the best in the orchestra, resulting in a stunning performance that is sure to delight classical music lovers.
