Grieg: Peer Gynt
There are many positive reasons for getting the completePeer  Gyntmusic, as opposed to just the two suites. In the first place, if you like  singing, you get the vocal parts. There's also a lot of really fine and exciting  music that's not included in the suites. On the other hand, if dialogue in  Norwegian makes you crazy (there isn't really that much of it), you might want to  stick with the more traditional excerpts. This performance of the complete score  is excitingly detailed, and extremely well played and sung by all the participants. I  enjoy hearing the music in both forms, depending on my mood; perhaps you will  too.--David Hurwitz
