Edvard Grieg, the composer, received his initial musical training in his homeland before completing his studies in Leipzig, where he immersed himself in the great German tradition.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded at the Scuola Grande S. Giovanni Evangelista in Venice, Italy, with Silvia and Giovanni Melloncelli as recording engineers.
Compositional Technique
In Grieg's Lyric Pieces, the left hand often follows orthodox Romantic harmony, while the right hand's thematic expression is freer, echoing folk music or the composer's reinterpretation.
Performer Biography
Daniel Levy, the pianist on this recording, is a world-renowned classical pianist and a leading exponent of the Vincenzo Scaramuzza school.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Grieg's creative path was nourished by nature and a private feeling of self-absorption, leading him to pursue a rarely rhetorical style that highlighted the 'miniaturization' of intuition and crystal-clear expression.
Performer Biography
Daniel Levy has performed in prestigious venues worldwide with orchestras like the Philharmonia Orchestra and collaborated with artists such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
