Edvard Grieg was much in demand as a soloist in the latter part of his life. His many short works for piano solo, as well as his famous concerto, led to his music being well known and loved across Europe. He left a number of piano rolls, but more importantly in 1903 he recorded a few records for the G&T company in Paris. These show his spirited and fresh approach to performing his own works. His style is flexible, charming, by turns sometimes capricious, but always controlled within the bounds of impeccable taste and musical understanding. Some stimulating comparisons and distinctions can be made between Grieg's own performances and those of Arthur de Greef (whose playing Grieg very much liked), as well recordings by other pianists from the first few decades of the 20th century. I rather feel that Grieg's own way with is own works is generally a much better way than we hear them performed now, and which was already being eroded by other younger pianists even when these records were made. This recording is of the fourth movement Finale (molto allegro) of Grieg's own piano sonata in E minor op.7. The work has been abridged in order to fit into the short recording time which was available in 1903.

May 17, 2008 - This is an important instalment in the lyricism (artist's impression) of characteristic style and relative deployment and pertinent perfunctory of Edvard Grieg's own material. The stages fold out onto themselves. There is no sense of detachment and the artist's relationship is acute and concise. There are moments of sombre and melancholic sorrow. This piece, butterfly and the lyric piece are my favourites of this set. Thank you for your video's.
