I said it in another Grieg video but I'll say it again - I, personally, identify Grieg as the Norwegian Tchaikovsky. He's a master of the folklore melody. Both he and Tchaikovsky were dedicated to capture the essence of their country and put it into notes. They definitely succeeded.

[debranelson]

This suite by Grieg is one of the most melodic pieces of music ever divine.

[kappabravomusic]

Perhaps, one of the most powerful versions of the Peer Gynt orchestral live performance🎉🎉🎉

[AndrewGurn]

I just finished reading "Peer Gynt" for the first time. Grieg really did capture the essence of the narrative with his suite. I found myself saying, "oh, this is the part where Peer was doing such-and such", as each part began

Brings tears to my rock n' roll eyes.

I first heartd this at Lafayette Elementary Scool in West Seattle, Seattle Washington. Miss Virginia Houlahan was the MUSIC Teacher for all six grades. She told the stories about the composers and their Music. And as an Artist alongv with the other kids made chalk Art, Murals on Paper as well as Bulletib Boards. She was the best, and my favorite grade school teacher. I am 76 this September, Rhank You Very Much Miss Houlahan!!!

[jean-pauladam]

Faire de la musique ensemble, l'écouter ensemble, y a-t-il plus belles aventures humaines? Cette interprétation est un régal à entendre et à regarder. Le chef d'orchestre est merveilleux.

Thank you all at Kristiansand for making this wonderful music together for us.

[navaneethakrishnans]

It is another level sir, what to say extremely outstanding. Bowing to every artist.

So, I was there, on any day about 50 years ago. I've just entered home from school and I turned on the radio. And Death of Asse began to sound. And I was held on the air for many minutes after the performance ended. You can forget a title, a composer's name. But yo will never forget a specific moment in your life. This superb performance brought me back to that moment. So simple.

[Kerppu]

Thank You the beautiful nation of Norway for Edvard Grieg and A-ha, love from Finland

[Chibby]

I cannot help but listen to this every day

[dominiquepaul]

The favorite piece of my dear father who would have enjoyed this fantastic cover of this brilliant composition

[kathdavis]

Absolutely superb performance, one of the best of the Peer Gynt Suite to delight my ears in decades, my Mum used to have a 78 shellac record of it, she'd play it on a Sunday sometimes or during the week whilst doing housework, all siblings would retreat to the garden to play if she put the 'Hall of the Mountain King' on 😂 ❤️ 😊 Sadly she passed in 2015.

La primera vez que escuché esta obra maestra, yo era un adolescente, utilizaba discos de vinilo, y quedé fascinado por esta música. Ahora tengo 73 años y la sigo escuchando con mucha frecuencia y con una gran atención. Sigo enamorado de esta majestuosa pieza del noruego GRIEG. Se podría pensar que al ser una composición de un escandinavo, podría resultar una música fría, pero nada más lejos de la realidad, es música cálida y melodiosa. La interpretación es una de las mejores que he escuchado en mi ya larga vida. Gracias GRIEG

The percussionists get to have all of the fun! I don't think I've ever seen a wind roller. 😃

This promotes spiritual uplift and awakening, and activates the human soul

[shin-i-chikozima]

This music quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul, and evoke comfortable feelings, and nostalgic feelings, and will embody Grieg’s musical aesthetics
