They make me think of those sad "Bach's Greatest Hits" and "Best of Mozart" LPs from the 70s, with pop-art covers and featuring a collection of disembodied movements. So I bought this CD with relatively low expectations.It was really meant to fill a gap in my collection. I have listened to a great deal of Grieg's music over the years – the Am Piano Concerto is one of the great warhorses – but my tastes have tended toward the baroque and the modern, rather than nationalist late-romanticism. I really wanted a recording of the Holberg Suite, however, and at the price this CD – with its hodgepodge of Peer Gynt, the concerto, and the rest – seemed to do the trick. The plan was to fill the gap temporarily, and then shop around for a "better" collection if I really liked the Holberg as much as I thought I did.It turned out that, as much as this set might be a hodge-podge with a lousy title, The Best of Grieg is very, very good. The performance of the Holberg Suite by Raymond Leppard and the English Chamber Orchestra is note-perfect. It conveys both the cool classicism that Grieg sought to evoke from "the time of Holberg," along with the kind of Scandinavian-passion-breaking-through that one finds in some of Ibsen's late works. Leppard and the ECO are equally adept with the Lyric Pieces and the Peer Gynt suites.The Piano Concerto is all fire and virtuosity in the hands of Stephen Kovacevich, a pianist to whom I had rarely given much thought. Sir Colin Davis's BBC Symphony Orchestra provides a fine accompaniment. If I have a complaint, it is just that – the orchestra is the backdrop rather than a full partner. On the other hand, this is MEANT to be a showcase for the soloist, so perhaps Sir Colin's approach is the right one.The big surprise was Zoltán Kocsis interpretation of the Op. 12 Lyric Pieces and the Em Piano Sonata. I have long admired Kocsis' deft touch and sympathetic reading of Bartok, and his Grieg is all that. The Grieg solo piano pieces are often touching, sometimes rapturous, and most often introspective. They remind me of Chopin's Nocturnes and Impromptus filtred through Brahms. Kocsis does fine work with them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021* Excellent experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful music that I remembered from my childhood--old 78 rpm ... *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015* Beautiful music that I remembered from my childhood--old 78 rpm records. The concerto I danced to with other girls. We wore short white togas, one-shouldered, with white tights. It was a lovely presentation. So many memories! I owe it all to my mother who bought classical music for me to enjoy when I was a little girl! This is a lovely set of 2 CD's. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2735253-the-best-of-grieg-including-the-piano-concerto-in-minor](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2735253-the-best-of-grieg-including-the-piano-concerto-in-minor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
