Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic, an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

| Edvard Grieg (1843 - 1907) |
Utah Symphony and Chamber Orchestra, Maurice Abravanel, cond. | Peer Gynt Suites, Nos. 1 & 2 (Op. 46, Op. 65) | Classical, Late Romantic Era/Nationalist | Vox, 1991 | A setting of Henrik Ibsen's poem, commissioned by Ibsen in 1874 to serve as incidental music for a stage version of the poem. Grieg responded to the request with 23 separate numbers for the play, which was first staged in 1876. Shortly after this, Grieg selected 4 of these numbers for Suite #1, and then compiled Suite #2 three years later. Learn more about Grieg here. |
