Cello sonata Op. 36 / Lyric Pieces

Album by Edvard Grieg & Emmanuelle Bertrand & Pascal Amoyel

Cello Sonata, Op. 36 and the Lyric Pieces are compositions by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, published in 1883 and between 1867 and 1901 respectively. The music blends Romantic-era lyricism and folk-inspired motifs with rich piano textures: the sonata represents Grieg's chamber-music writing with a dramatic, expressive character, while the Lyric Pieces are concise piano miniatures that explore a wide range of moods and helped establish his national Romantic voice in Scandinavian music.
