Edvard Grieg (3) Notturno op. 54, no. 4 arr. for orchestra

[alternatehistories]

Thanks for posting this. Grieg's Nocturne is one of those compositions which sounds amazing no matter whether it's played as a piano solo or by a large orchestra. It's a shame that the majority of casual listeners of classical only recognize Grieg from his "Peer Gynt - Hall of The Mountain King"...when he has so many other beautiful compositions.

This is very neat! Are your other videos (Op. 54 Nos. 3 and 6) also Seidl's arrangements?

@pianojerome Yes, I think they are by same arranger.

:O

Thats so amazing? What arrangement is this?

[bartje11]

G. Seidl orchestrated them, but Grieg thought them too heavy handed (Wagnerian, which he didn't like) and re-did them.

Really? This arrangement gives the piece a whole new meaning. Thanks for uploading it!
