Эдвард Григ, Эмиль Гилельс - Из Лирических Пьес From The Lyric Pieces

Review by Carlton McDuffie

From the Lyric Pieces, a collaborative album by renowned pianists Edward Grieg and Emil Gilels, is a beautiful and haunting collection of compositions that will captivate listeners from start to finish. The 18 tracks on this album showcase the deep emotional range and technical virtuosity of both Grieg and Gilels, highlighting their exceptional musical talent and mastery of the piano.

The album opens with the dreamy and romantic "Butterfly," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Grieg's compositions are infused with a sense of nostalgia and longing, and Gilels' interpretation of these pieces is delicate and nuanced, bringing out the intricate harmonies and textures in each piece.

The album includes a mix of well-known pieces, such as "To Spring" and "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen," as well as lesser-known gems like "Evening in the Mountains" and "Scherzo." Each piece is a masterpiece in its own right, and the album as a whole is a testament to the enduring power of Grieg's music.

From the Lyric Pieces is a must-listen for fans of classical piano music, as well as anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of Grieg's compositions. Grieg and Gilels' collaboration is a perfect match, resulting in a stunning album that is sure to be enjoyed for years to come.
