Edvard Grieg: Lyric Pieces
Mikhail Pletnev,
piano
“this masterly recital … contains playing of great poetic feeling and sensibility .. Bell-Ringing has a remarkable range of colour and dynamics … there are many (other) individual insights … nothing is routine, and there is a concentration that give these miniatures a freshness and depth that few artists can match” (Penguin Guide 3 stars)
