Conductor Eivind Aadland has a deep familiarity with the music of fellow Norwegian Grieg and is attuned to its flourishes, nuances and beauties.
Grieg’s Norwegian Dances were originally composed as piano 4-hand duets and were orchestrated by the Czech violinist Sitt during Grieg’s lifetime. All four movements are in ternary form with a contrasting middle section, and through a variety of dance rhythms and pastoral melodies they portray a world both rustic and charming.
Performed live as part of Mendelssohn Violin Concerto on 1 December 2023 at Federation Concert Hall, nipaluna / Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
