Grieg: Symphonic Dances, Op. 64; Bridal Procession Passes By, Op. 19; Sigurd Jorsalfar, Op. 56; Two Elegiac Melodies for String Orchestra, Op. 34; Lyric Suite, Op. 54

Edvard Grieg's ambitiously scaled Symphonic Dances use a compelling selection of regional melodies and jaunty rhythms to brilliant effect. Elsewhere, his music ranges from the eloquent drama of Sigurd Jorsalfar to the deeply felt intimacy of the Two Elegiac Melodies and the popular Lyric Suite. These classic Vox recordings by Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony Orchestra were originally issued in 1976 and have been newly remastered from the original tapes. The Elite Recordings for Vox by legendary producers Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz are considered by audiophiles to be amongst the finest sounding examples of orchestral recordings.
