Edvard Grieg – “Peer Gynt suite 1 and 2 op.46”

エドヴァルド・グリーグ  「ペール・ギュント・ スイート1と2 op.46」

TIME COMMITMENT: 33 minutes

This ‘Lord of the Rings’ avant la lettre, runs the gamut from deviant zombie dances to misty sleepiness.  The perfumed, emotive suites stem from incidental music to a theater performance, a half-forgotten genre which vanished as quickly as it emerged.  The second video sports only the totemic “Hall of the Mountain King”.

A REFLECTION

In summer dusk the valley lies

With far-flung shadow veil;

A cloud-sea laps the precipice

Before the evening gale.

Henrik Ibsen: “Mountain Life”
