- Synopsis:
The haunting Scandinavian terrain; cascading waterfalls; cliffs towering above fjords below; majestic mountains; the tranquil countryside - these are the sights of inspiration for Norway's greatest and most famed composer Edvard Grieg. This volume of the 'Naxos Musical Journey' takes us floating over the awe-inspiring Norwegian natural landscape; to the bustling fish-market town of Bergen; through the concert halls and monuments that echo with the history of Grieg's native music; to an intimate view of Grieg's private home, first inspired by Nordic mythology. Grieg's charming and evocative classical and folk melodies carry the viewer through this mysterious and wondrous land - as magical and enduring as the music itself.
