The concert is recorded in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. This piece is the first of the four Norwegian Dances by Edvard Grieg, conducted by Christian Lindberg.
Christian Lindberg! Surprise to find his name. He IS the famous trombone player, isn't it? He performed with Wood Wind Orchestra Michael, Thorn, the Netherlands. Wonderful sound. and here such a great director! I love his energy, passion!
Magnificent. Terrific sound. It's amazing how and where this is performed. Marvelous music at literally the end (or beginning) of planet. So you live on an archipelago just 800 miles from the North Pole? It's called Svalbard? And only 2500 people live there? Hold tight. We'll make a trip there and bring our whole orchestra........ What a great gift!
