Piano Music for Four Hands

Composer(s):
  • Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)

First recording Grieg’s sweetness is here with a great deal of whimsy and humor. The music is also serious as Grieg presents it in a grand virtuosic manner. The performances are good and the tone is surging and pliant. Good timing is obviously necessary for playing works of this genre. The two pianists play and think as one.
