Grieg: Peer Gynt, incidental music, Op. 23 (2SACD)

"The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra give exemplary performances under Ole Kristian Ruud, making even the most hackneyed of movements sound new-minted... these discs provide a wonderfully refreshing view of Grieg’s music, in fine idiomatic performances. They have an essential place on my library shelves." MusicWeb International. "Ruud's conducting is light and airy, entirely in tune with the drama he is accompanying... Ruud's orchestra is excellent, with fine wind-soloists..." Fanfare 03/2006
