 | We are repurposing the music from a Vinyl's Revenge post of 28 June 2016 as a new montage in our ongoing A la Carte series on For Your Listening Pleasure. The following notes are an update. |
The original post, featuring stage music by Grieg, is being
“mashed up” into a new programme by adding more stage music by the Norwegian. This
A La Carte montage extends our old vinyl share of Vaclav Neumann conducting
excerpts Peer Gynt with a rare complete recording of the incidental music from Sigurd
Jorsalfar.
Sigurd Jorsalfar is a play by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson
celebrating King Sigurd I of Norway. Published as his Op. 22, his incidental
music for the play was first performed in Christiania on 10 April 1872. The
full work consists of nine parts; five are purely orchestral, and four are
scored for tenor or baritone, male chorus, and orchestra.
Happy Listeing!
