A poetic interpretation of Nordic music by a master of Soviet pianism
A testament to the deep expressive power of Russian pianism.
This recording by Gilels, a leading figure in the Soviet piano world, beautifully captures the delicate musical world of Norwegian composer Grieg. Each piece in the "Lyric Pieces" showcases Gilels's exceptional technique and profound musical insight. This exquisite blend of Nordic lyricism and Russian passion fully brings out the poetic beauty of Grieg's music, making this one of the great classical piano recordings.
