Grieg Peer Gynt: Solveigs Song, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra ( Waldbühne 2006)

From the Waldbühne Berlin 2006 Thousand and one nights : Excerpt of the Berliner Philharmoniker, under the baton of Neeme Järvi, performing Solveig s Song by Edward Grieg from the Peer Gynt Suite. Henrik Ibsen, a norwegian lyricist, wrote a poem Peer Gynt about norwegian fairy tales. He asked Edward Grieg to write the music for it to be a stage play. Because Grieg thought his music would never be played outside of Norway he left the lyrics behind and wrote his own Peer Gynt Suite which is today one of the most famous pieces of the romantic era in the world.
