Edvard Griegs hit pieces for piano on one album performed by one of the most exciting young pianists of our days. On her new album Alice Sara Ott takes us into the world of mountain trolls and elves, hills and fjords through a selection of Griegs works his Lyric Pieces, as well as through selected piano versions of pieces from the Peer Gynt Suites, and one of the most famous works of piano literature: Griegs piano concerto in A minor, for which she teams up with one of the top orchestras, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, under star conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen at a live recording.
Alice has always been fascinated by the fantasy world Grieg has created and the fairy tale like characters that lend the title to Griegs musical miniatures:
Without our really noticing it, we are taken on a journey into a daydream, a wonderland from which we return only reluctantly to our own everyday reality. This album represents my own very personal journey through Griegs wonderland. I should like to take this opportunity to invite you to leave behind your everyday lives for a moment and enter Edvard Griegs magical and imaginary world with me. Alice Sara Ott
The Origami butterflies on the album cover have been created by Alice herself and are also featured in the booklet and in the music video - To Spring.
