Norway Beyond Grieg
Playlist - 17 Songs
Grieg is Norway’s most famous composer, but there are plenty of others to explore, many of whom were inspired by the dramatic beauty of their homeland. Picture the deep turquoise fjords, rugged cliffs, and dense forests in Johan Svendsen’s Norwegian Rhapsody No. 1, and listen to pieces that evoke folk traditions, myths, and nature, including Ola Gjeilo’s sparse choral gem Northern Lights, and a mountain expedition led by Norway’s answer to Paganini, Ole Bull.
