Andrey Gugnin presents a wonderful all-Grieg recital, the elegant neo-classicism of 'From Holberg's time' (a rare and welcome opportunity to hear the original version for solo piano) contrasting with the brooding magnificence of the 'Ballade'. Two complete sets of 'Lyric Pieces' - those most perfect of piano miniatures - are also included.
