Wonderland - Edvard Grieg: Piano Concerto, Lyric Pieces

Edvard Grieg's hit pieces for piano on one album – performed by one of the most exciting young pianists of our days.On her new album Alice Sara Ott takes us into the world of mountain trolls and elves, hills and fjords through a selection of Grieg's works – his Lyric Pieces, as well as through selected piano versions of pieces from the Peer Gynt Suites, and one of the most famous works of piano literature: Grieg's piano concerto in A minor, for which she teams up with one of the top orchestras, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, under star conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen at a live recording.Alice has always been fascinated by the fantasy world Grieg has created and the fairy tale like characters that lend the title to Grieg's musical miniatures: 'Without our really noticing it, we are taken on a journey into a daydream, a 'wonderland' from which we return only reluctantly to our own everyday reality.''This album represents my own very personal journey through Grieg's 'wonderland.' I should like to take this opportunity to invite you to leave behind your everyday lives for a moment and enter Edvard Grieg's magical and imaginary world with me.' –  Alice Sara Ott
