Thanks for this amazing music - this is the first entry on my 1903 playlist.

I've created music playlists for each of the last 100 years - a trip back in time awaits just the click of your mouse . . . . . .

Absolutely beautiful!

What a gift he left us in these recordings. And it was not easy. Already by the time he made them, he had grown too frail and weak to play most of his own works - and this required all the strength he could muster. Still these recordings confirm what many contemporaries observed of him - that no other pianist could play or interpret his works better than he. (They said his playing of his concerto was sensational - as if they were hearing the much-played work as a fresh new composition.)

@UnitedjOeY88 You're an idiot. No one click this link. It takes you to a stupid hip hop song!

unfortunatly...todays instruments are only about

brilliance...a true shame...no wonder the art of piano is going rather...down:-(

bboymango; It's good you recognized that, which is what Grieg intended. Arietta was his very first Lyric Piece and this reworking of it as a beautiful waltz was to be his final one - hence the name.

As I've said elsewhere, no one plays Grieg better than Grieg did.

i love how this piece is named remembrance and is one of gireg;s last lyric pieces. but even better is the fact that the main melody is very very very similar to his earlier lyric piece which was the arieta

ahha its almost as if he was reflecting on his past and possibly specifically the arieta

Don't forget that this was the golden age of not only pianists but also of piano-builders. The piano's of that era could really produce a singing tone, that's hard to find in modern piano's.

Singing touch is the secret of Grieg,s playing .The height of pianism, once prized above all......
