Sigurd Jorsalfar

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

Sigurd Jorsalfar is incidental music composed by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg in 1872. The score employs orchestral and choral forces with folk‑inspired melodies and vivid orchestral colour to accompany a historical drama, and it represents Grieg's engagement with larger-scale dramatic and orchestral writing beyond his earlier piano and song repertoire.
