Edvard Grieg's early musical training took place in Germany, but philosophical constraints sent him back to his native Norway, where he began what is now referred to as the Norwegian School. He is best known for his Peery Gynt Suites, No. 1 and No. 2, originally written as orchestral suites and as incidental accompaniments for Ibsen's epic drama. This sparkling scoring includes Morning Mood, The Death of Ase, Anitra's Dance, and In The Hall Of The Mountain King. (duration 4:56).
