Quite an overlooked composer in general, famous mainly for Peer Gynt and his Piano Concerto in A minor. Those with soulseek, I recommend you download his lyric pieces, particularly [4-1] valse impromptu and [4-7] elegi, and also his Funeral March in memory of Rikard Nordraak :: excellent stuff. |

my dad took me to grieg's piano concerto when i was pretty young. fist orchestral performance id ever been to. really enjoyed it. particularly because it was such a sold out performance that our seats were situated in the choral section of the hall - behind the orchestra itself. so technically - we were hearing the piece in reverse.. if you see what i mean. |

i laugh at the idea of my dad taking me to a piano concert. HA! K thanks. My dad is more of a sporting event sort of guy, you know, American. |

I've been fortunate enough to see Grieg's Piano Concerto live, also! It was great! I also remember seeing a Beethoven Piano Concerto, and it resonated so much, I was moved to tears -- classical music is best heard live, no doubt... the vibrations are immense. I also saw a Rachmaninov Piano Concerto live, but it wasn't so hot :D It was his little-known First Piano COncerto, not a spot on his others!! |

sounds good. i definitely agree with you about classical music having more resonance when seen live. its been a long time since ive seen anything like that in the flesh - not counting the warp/sinfonietta tour of course.. d-steak | the very idea of my dad taking me to ANY kind of sporting event as a kid actually made me laugh out loud. thats not his thing at all. |

I have only heard 2 musical pieces by Grieg, both left me slightly stunned and lost for words, one was called something like 'In the hall of the mountain king' I don't remember the other one it was on an old 45 record. |

probably "morgenstemning" (don't know what it's called in english) "hall of the mountain king" is originally called "dovregubbens hall," but that's in norwegian. Grieg has done several good musical pieces... you should just get it all. although.. he has a few boring ones as well... I don't know their names (something anonymous like "opus 4" or something like that...) |

As I child I found hall of the mountain king very scary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I found the entirety of Peer Gynt scary... especially that part with those people in the desert who cuts their throats and shit... |
||||||||
|
|

|

I find Grieg rather boring actually... |

Yes, I must have heard it when I was about 10 and remember feeling how threatening it sounded. My parents bought me a record player and a load of old 45s ( mainly of classical music) as a birthday present, best present I ever got as a kid. Drunken Mastah, thanks for the info, I think i will check him out a bit more. I should also start listening to more classical music, it has been a long time since my last listen. |

alltime favorite classical piece: Ravel - Bolero co: yeah, a few of his works sound almost generic, but you'll have to expect that from someone as productive as him. |
||||||||
|

funnily enough, one of the best presents i got as a kid was an old record player + a few vinyls. hall of the mountain king was amongst these. |

you didn't sell it did you? maybe its the same one! :) |
||||||||
|
|

im afraid i didnt sell it, so thats not a possibility. nice coincidence though. perhaps our parents are similar individuals..? |

Jaze, I'm sharing Peer Gynt and all 4 volumes of his Lyric Pieces, as well as the excellent funeral march, on SLSK :) |

I would be very grateful if you would allow me to get a few songs from you, maybe you can recommend some of his best?. Can you give me the link to the soulseek site by any chance? I need to download it again. Cheers. |

Did you ever play me the lyric pieces, i really liked the funeral march and i think i remember peer gynt. I have been trying to locate pachelbel works at the moment apart from the canon in d, i really want to hear what his other stuff is like. |
