Grieg: #101

About this playlist

Edvard Grieg is by far the best known musical export of Norway, and if you ever go to his home town of Bergen you'll find it hard to miss the many statues and tributes to him. Grieg is one of those composers with 2 or 3 super-famous pieces, but a relatively undiscovered treasure trove of works under the surface.
