Janina Fialkowska - Grieg: Lyric Pieces '2015

Tracks list

	       Written after Grieg returned to settle in Norway, the Lyric Pieces, a
total of 66 short pieces for piano, were published in ten volumes between 1867
and 1901. Canadian pianist Janina Fialkowska performs a selection of 25 of these
pieces with delicacy and refinement. Among these are the Romantic pieces, which
earned him the nickname of the “Nordic Chopin”: Berceuse (Op. 38, No. 1),
Vals (Waltz, Op. 38, No. 7), Albumblad (Albumleaf, Op. 47, No. 2), Melodi (Op.
47, No. 3), and Notturno (Op. 54, No. 4). Other works include peasant and
patriotic marches, dances, songs, and evocations of the Norwegian landscape. 

Beloved the world over for her exquisite pianism, Janina Fialkowska has
enchanted audiences for over thirty years with her glorious lyrical sound, her
sterling musicianship and her profound sense of musical integrity. Blending her
vast experience with her refreshingly natural approach, 'Fialkowska has become
an artist of rare distinction as well as retaining all the virtuosity of her
youth.' (La Presse, Montréal)
