Free For All Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Shouldn't this be in the classical music forum? (maybe if we do this enough times it might facilitate things) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Why the suites? Why not the whole deal? Quote
Kalo Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah, go for the Ibsen and forget about the music stuff. Quote
Bright Moments Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Posted May 24, 2007 This one: whew!!! thanks stefan!!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 30 years ago I had a 2 lp set of (supposedly) everything Grieg wrote for Peer Gynt. The music was conducted by Peer Dryer (?) on the Unicorn label In fact I worked for the company at that time. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 From the same label I posted, the same group did a two cd "complete" version as well, with dialog. It is excellent as well, though it changes the context of the music a lot. I had that Unicorn set, Chuck. It was a fine set! Quote
Larry Kart Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 Per Dreier -- excellent set. Wish I'd held onto it instead of replacing it with N. Jarvi's DG CD set . Live and learn. Quote
Bright Moments Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Posted June 22, 2007 THAT WAS EXCELLENT!!! time to move on! Please recommend other Grieg cds!!!! Quote
