The interpretation of Edvard Grieg's two 'Peer Gynt Suites', combined with orchestral pieces from his 'Sigurd Jorsalfar', occupies an important position among the highly acclaimed recordings by the Berliner Philharmoniker and their chief conductor Herbert von Karajan. With their brilliant and expressive interpretation, the musicians demonstrate an enormous sensitivity for the Norwegian composer's unique atmospheric tonal language.
