On her new album Alice Sara Ott takes us into the world of mountain
trolls and elves, hills and fjords through a selection of Grieg’s works –
his Lyric Pieces, as well as through selected piano versions of pieces
from the Peer Gynt Suites, and one of the most famous works of piano
literature: Grieg’s piano concerto in A minor, for which she teams up
with one of the top orchestras, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen
Rundfunks, under star conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen at a live recording.
Alice has always been fascinated by the fantasy world Grieg has created
and the fairy tale like characters that lend the title to Grieg’s
musical miniatures: “This album represents my own very personal journey
through
Grieg’s ‘wonderland’. I should like to take this opportunity to
invite you to leave behind your everyday lives for a moment and enter
Edvard Grieg’s magical and imaginary world with me. Without our really
noticing it, we are taken on a journey into a daydream, a ‘wonderland’
from which we return only reluctantly to our own everyday reality.”
(Deutsche Grammophon)
