Peer Gynt Suites

Album by Edvard Grieg & Bergen filharmoniske orkester & Ole Kristian Ruud

Peer Gynt Suites are two orchestral suites by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, drawn from his incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's play composed in 1875. The suites distil the larger incidental score into orchestral movements characterised by lyrical melodies, colourful orchestration and folk‑inspired motifs, and they illustrate Grieg's role in the Norwegian national romantic movement and his contribution to late 19th‑century orchestral repertoire.
First released: 18th September 2006
