About

Grieg is not a composer whom one associates particularly with Sir John Barbirolli, but of his complete sympathy with it there has never been any doubt. In October 1933 Barbirolli and Backhaus were recording the Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor together. The time came for a test of the slow movement, which opens with a beautiful theme for muted strings, and when Backhaus was due to come in he looked up from the piano and said: “What a pity the piano has to come in ans spoil that! Wasn’t it charming!

In 1957 Barbirolli returned to Grieg and recorded the Symphonic Dances for Pye and in 1969 he recorded twelve movements from the Peer Gynt music for EMI.

Barbirolli recorded the Norwegian Dances, Lyric Suite and Homage March from 'Sigurd Jorsalfor' for EMI at the Abbey Road Studios August 1969 and May 1970. The Symphonic Dances were recorded at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester for Pye on 9 and 10 August 1957.
