Synopsis

Amazon.com
Einar Steen-Nøkleberg's performances of Grieg's Lyric Pieces take up Volumes 8-10 of his complete series of Grieg's piano music. Like Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, Grieg's series is an ongoing collection of wonders--delicious little character pieces with hardly a weak one in the lot. For most listeners, a single disc of selections (such as Emil Gilels's on Deutsche Grammophon 449 721-2, or Sviatoslav Richter's on Live Classics LCL 442) may be all the Lyric Pieces they need. But Steen-Nøkleberg's lovely playing gives you the option of owning the entire series for little more than the price of a single full-price disc. --Leslie Gerber

Excellent performance of music not heard enough
08/24/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"These performances of Grieg's lyric pieces brings them to life exceptionally well. Grieg's fresh approach to the folk tunes and his chord progessions occasionally catapult the listener into a preview of the 20th century. Einar Steen-Nokleburg plays with a real feel for the music; his shading and nuance of the slower Op. 38 pieces is noteworthy. Grieg's lyric pieces as a whole stand with anything written for piano in the 19th century, including Debussy."
