Description
Ever since the first performance of the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 in 1876, this work has remained one of the most often performed compositions in the romantic repertoire. It was only a matter of time before other ensembles adapted the work and the present arrangement for woodwind quintet of the four-movement suite does justice to the sound world of Grieg, exploring the subtle nuances of these five very individual instruments. Included are naturally "Morning", " Aase's Death", " Anitra's Dance" and the jewel of the suite "In the Hall of the Mountain King". The edition also includes a reference score to ease rehearsal of the work.
