About This Song
About "Grieg: Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16: I. Allegro molto moderato (Excerpt)" by Cécile Ousset
Grieg's opening Allegro surges with Nordic grandeur, and Ousset captures its blend of folk innocence and Romantic sweep. The excerpt is a postcard from a fjord: sparkling piano runs like waterfalls, the orchestra's swell a looming mountain. Calm surface, turbulent depths.
