Author: Ivan March
Let me say immediately that the playing here is refined and has a genuine sense of style, and the recording, made at St Jude-on-the-Hill, London has a pleasing natural sonority (without ecclesiastical overtones) and is freshly balanced in an ideal acoustic. But it was a mistake to open with the Norwegian Dances, as however effectively these are played, Grieg's orchestral colours cannot be effaced from the memory, particularly in the oboe solo of No. 2. Once we move on to the Poetic Tone Pictures, early piano works of 1863, the brass transcriptions come into their own, with the second Con moto and the sixth Allegro scherzando quite delectable. The Lyric Pieces also transcribe well, ''Evening in the mountains'' (from Op. 68) with its fine opening horn solo (James Handy) is very atmospheric and ''Lonely wanderer'' and ''In my native land'' produce some superb brass euphony (both from Op. 43). while Mark Bennett's flugel horn solo in ''To the spring'' is very touching. The novelty pieces such as ''Bell-ringing'' from Op. 54 and ''Gone'' from Op. 71 are vividly coloured. If the famous ''The last spring'' (Elegiac Melodies) and ''Solveig's song'' from Peer Gynt ideally need strings, the brass alternative is certainly very agreeable. I am not sure at whom such a collection is aimed, but if you like Grieg's melodies and fine brass playing too, it might be you.'
