Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 - Anitra's Dance

[DanDanTheBassman]

I just took a book on Norwegian music out of the library. The number of references he makes to Norwegian folk music is extraordinary. I'm suddenly becoming a HUGE fan of Grieg's.

[kinotonberry]

Can you tell me which recording this is? I haven't found one that flows the way this one does. The others are either in a slower time or stylistically choppy.

[xandyloko]

maravilhoso.. sem palavras!

[friederichsheim]

I want to dance this with a beautiful princess.

The Duke Ellington / Billy Strayhorn arrangement, performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra:

I can't figure why I smelled the blueberry scent of a dark blue "Mr Sketch" marker when I started listening to this piece, I cant get it off of my nose now!!!

I can't get Faces of death out of my head, they put this song with the slaughter house scenes.

[dancerrbbyx3]

[ThePieIsLie]

So soothing.

[FireBird916]

Einfach suuuuper!

So schöne Liedr macht heute keine Band mehr... :D

[faetter]

Does anyone know wich recording it is? From wich cd?

[Influx27]

hmm, I think I like Anitra's Dance best. I hope it's because the piece itself is wonderful and not because I have nostalgic memories of the adaptation from the game "Quest of Glory 4".

[VanRootstuck]

@Influx27 I have those memories as well :)

I remember the first big surprise years ago when I was listening to Peer Gynt and suddenly heard this. I thought I'd never hear this piece again elsewhere than in that cosy inn :)

Love this piece.

[swampagIsCool]

[cloudycandyfloss]

Thank you very much for uploading this. I am currently learning to play it (piano) and have been searching for a some recorded version so I could hear how it's supposed to sound :] Fantastic with a violin

[TheWickedNorth]

You're very welcome..

[RavenAbraxas]

We're goin' to play the Peer Gynt Suite (complete) with our wind band at our local church as a part of our annual concert on Dec. 06. Visitors are more than welcome...

[SKYLINEISDABEST]

**sigh** such an amazing piece..... Im studying it for School exams.... which kinda ruins it :((

[LauraHuntxoxo]

Same!! dat's why i was youtubing it!!!

[autr727]

Anita dance ¿? º_0

[penhsin]

lalalalalalal

[Cardien18]

0:51 I love that part. It sounds wonderful.

[JoaoBR85]

Lol, listening to this piece, I slowly remembered that it was used as backgroud music on Captain Silver game, a very old game for arcade, nintendo and master system ;)

[noodledoodlezoo]

thats where i remember this!!! it has been bothering me to no end.

[xtremenortherner]

From the "Xtreme North" to the "Wicked North";thanks for posting this,I think that Edvard Grieg,the "Emperor of the North" was the best at composing short pieces for orchestra. For someone who calls themself "Wicked", you have excellent taste in music!

[TheWickedNorth]

Thank you.. I'm glad you enjoyed this piece..

[kylejj87]

Fantastic version! Thank you for putting it up on here.

[Olivethemonkey]

I love this song; it's very light and relaxing. You can just imagine pixies skating to this song. But I can also really see where the Fable video game got it's music inspiration. Thank you for uploading this song.

[Stinkywrix]

I feel like i should be chatting up Prussian aristocracy when listening to this :P

[musiccritic1910]

Classical music, my friend, is the music for aristocrats.....all the rest is for the

humble plebeians

[DuffMcRigby]

I do quite agree. However, I am both a classical and rock musician. :)

[kremtusj]

I heard this joke about those people one time, blew my mind.

[xoxo555555]

sounds like a funny song but i love it

[plylyshyn]

Agreed. The one done on computer is a travesty to this piece...

[chickenjojo]

and how...

[6thsensee]

the first acceptable version on the net - thank you!
