Fergus, you have posted a beautiful selection of recordings over the last few days. I expect that the last one, by Gardiner, is sublime?

The red bodice and gold skirt is indeed very fetching.

I deserved that

Beautiful music composed in the most appalling circumstances.

Edvard Grieg
Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46
Peer Gynt Suite No. 2, Op. 55
Sørgemarsj over Rikard Nordraa
Gammelnorsk romanse med variasjoner, Op. 51
Klokkeklang (Bell Ringing), Op. 54 No. 6
Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra
Ole Kristian Ruud conducting.

For many a year I used to rise the family for breakfast on a Sunday morning with the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 playing on the speakers on the landing. They all loved the first movement, 'Morning Mood' and soon learned to get out of bed before the climax to the fourth, 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'.

This a fabulously good recording

Bet you were loved by your teenage kids ;).
I had to endure the lovely sound of my dad hoovering.... Would have preferred Grieg... :)
