Though one of the world's most popular composers, Grieg is known by a handful of compositions, the Piano Concerto, Peer Gynt and the Holberg Suite.

However there is more to the composer, and this compilation includes such beautiful music as the Norwegian Dance; a thrilling March from Sigurd Jorsalfar, and the composer's own orchestration of some of his charming Lyric Pieces.
