About

With his Lyric Pieces Grieg kept a kind of poetic piano diary.

Between 1867 and 1901, he wrote 66 short character pieces, which were published in ten booklets. Quickly becoming popular favorites, some of them are now part of the standard repertoire.

For his debut album on PROSPERO, the Israeli-American pianist Daniel Gortler has selected his 21 personal favourites.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

Mar/Apr 2024

It is true that not all of this music is technically challenging, but it is all difficult on an interpretive level, and Gortler consistently gets it right. His sequencing is perfectly judged, too: The disc runs on in one gorgeous stream of melody that only Grieg could have written...a disc to delight and warm the heart.
