Maria Grinberg plays Grieg Holberg Suite Op. 40 

This suite is most often heard in the string orchestra version, but I have a special affection for it played on the piano, especially as the prelude is so superbly written for it. And Maria Grinberg's personality and artistry bring the music to vibrant life indeed!

Her life and her music is so deeply touching. Hello Maria, whereever you now are...

She plays like an angel, everytime I hear Maria, she plays better! =) Superb!

Thank you for introducing me to this amazing pianist. Brava❤❤❤❤❤

wonderful! I love her sense and her tone.very deep!

Greig's Ballade is definitely worth hearing .I always thought this was an orchestral piece never heard this remarkable music before and grinberg is deservedly famous in piano circles .

What extraordinary beautiful playing! Very moving, very pure.

Superb ! A very special recording. The singing tone of her piano in the Aria is deeply moving.

❤необыкновенно красиво исполнена Ария. Рояль звучит подобно голосу. Супер! Вся сюита сыграна таким глубоким, полным тембра звуком. Это очень трогательно. Браво, Мария! 👌🙏🙏❤

After years of hearing the orchestral version, this version (and interpretation) was a revelation! In particular, the Aria brought out a depth of passion/pathos not revealed by the orchestral. Brava Maria!

so beautiful, zo eindeloos mooi...I love her and her playing so much....

This suite is very nice masterpiece! Beautiful work! I love It!

Браво Марие Гринберг.

Excellent...bring her back!

Grieg invented neoclassicism half a century before it became the rage!

This IS quite marvelously played...however, I don't know if you are aware, after all this time, that it is quite remarkably beautiful in it's string orchestra version? If you are not familiar with that after all this time, it is well worth your listening to that here on YT.... I recommend the complete version at "Grieg Holberg Suite Op. 40 グリーグ ホルベルク組曲" here... Enjoy this beautiful music for strings as well as here on piano!

This is as good as I've heard anyone play this great piece of music. Thanks!

So beautiful !

Excellent

Classy, and superb in everything, she touched!

Musique de contemplation. Très beau.

If you like this then you should definitely hear her cycle of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas. While I have them on CD, they are now available in one 10+ hour compilation. If you don't have Internet Download Manager you'll be in for a very long wait.

Que maravillosa interpretación !!!Una gran obra en manos de una gran música !!!

Bravissima interprete, un piacere ascoltarla!!

She was just fantastic!

Ok, thank you for your recommendation, I will listen to orchestra version again!

Extraordinary.

Émouvante...

Touching !!

So I came back to Grinberg and the almost never programmed Holberg Suite . It's good music weaves a spell and she gets this music is its finest proponent .Did Gould play it he recorded the smallemotion ed Sonata which has none of the grandeur or long line of a Chopin,Liszt or even Mendellsohn Sonata .

Now, thats a wonderful instrument she is playing.

The best solo piano work Grieg wrote, especially in this life enhancing performance. But there appears to be a problem when I try to download it. Only the first few notes download. I have tried this a number of times. It would be great if you could re-upload this marvellous and rare performance.

Con toda la riqueza de matices de lo humano.

Beautiful Air. ( Recording date not known )

Magnífica intérprete,pero prefiero la versión orquestada,cómo Grieg la ideó.La recomiendo.Grieg quiso hacer un homenaje a la música barroca con esta obra,según tengo entendido.

Грустная тема совершенно потрясающая!

Wonderful rendition ! Alas, the CD is out-of-print ...

I love her tone and sense of line, but I feel that it is overpedaled especially when the texture gets thick.
