Emil Gilels
Grieg - Lyric Pieces

PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 10 OCTOBER

This recording of 20 of the 66 'Lyrical Pieces' by Edvard Grieg, which the Russian keyboard grandmaster Emil Gilels recorded in 1972, can undoubtedly be regarded as a milestone in piano history. Although Grieg's lyrical pieces have a reputation for being manageable even for amateurs, the dynamic and colourful richness of nuance that Gilels brings to the compositions is certainly in a league of its own.
