Lugansky - Grieg, Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, from Lyric Pieces

Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) Wedding Day at Troldhaugen in D major, from Lyric Pieces, Op. 65, No.6 (1892) (Bryllupsdag på Troldhaugen from Lyriske stykker) Nikolai Lugansky, 2015 From Moscow Philharmonic Society "There are 66 pieces in ten volumes comprising Grieg's Lyric Pieces, and Wedding Day at Troldhaugen is probably the most popular work in the group. Actually, its music does not quite depict a wedding day; rather, it represents the happy recollection of the composer and his wife Nina's 25th wedding anniversary celebration, which took place in 1892 at their residence at Troldhaugen (Troll Hill), named by the couple after trolls, large (not, as is often thought, small) creatures associated with Norwegian myth. “ Robert Cummings
