Rune Alvers’ CD Le nouveau Grieg is currently being digitally relaunched on the LAWO Classics label. The CD was recorded on Edvard Grieg’s own grand piano at Troldhaugen Bergen in 2007. The term Le nouveau Grieg – The new Grieg, refers to the composer’s Slåtter op. 72, which is included in its entirety on the CD along with Lyriske stykker op. 71. However, tonight’s concert presents a broader selection of Edvard Grieg’s production with verbal intros of a historical and musical nature.
