About

On this disc, Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra play string works by Edvard Grieg.

The ACO perform perennial favourites such as the Holberg Suite and the two Elegiac Melodies, Grieg’s own orchestrations of two of his best-loved songs: 'Last Spring' and 'The Wounded Heart'.

The programme also includes Richard Tognetti’s adaptation of String Quartet No.1 and the ravishingly lyrical piano composition Erotikk from the composer’s celebrated collection of Lyric Pieces.

Previous recordings with Tognetti and the ACO on BIS have been met with critical acclaim: Gramophone described the team as 'an outstanding band' with 'a keen individual and collective feel for style and character', and The Observer praised their 'gloriously exciting, tangy edged, alert and playful sound'.
