Våren (Last Spring), Op.33 No.2

Grieg: Våren, in a great interpretation. Text: A.O. Vinje. Soloist Janne Berglund. Descant Silje Marie Aker Johnsen.
While Grieg's orchestral works, songs and piano music have conquered the world, Grieg’s choral music has to a certain extent remained a national concern. Actually he wrote quite a number of choral pieces, reflecting the fact that choral singing was particularly important in Norway at the time – principally as a contribution to developing a sense of national identity.
International Record Review: outstanding; Klassik-heute: highest rating.
