In 2007, conductor Rolf Gupta gave the first Norwegian performance of Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor with the legendary Australian pianist Percy Grainger as the posthumous soloist. On this recording the orchestra accompanies Grainger’s original interpretation of the concerto, also included are a handful of Grieg’s Lyric pieces performed by the composer himself and brought to live by modern technology. Astonishingly, these performances have not been available in any format until now.
