Peer Gynt – Northern Lights of Classical Music

Grieg’s colourful music evokes sweeping landscapes, mysterious figures and Nordic poetry.

Excerpts from Edvard Grieg’s music for Peer Gynt paint a world of wide landscapes, mysterious figures and Nordic poetry. Calm, luminous scenes stand alongside powerful rhythms and dramatic episodes – music that tells stories without words.

The Dresdner Residenz Orchester draws out the work’s contrasting characters through a transparent chamber interpretation. The Wallpavillon becomes the setting for a journey between dreams and adventure, the familiar and the unknown.
