A Christmas present from Edvard Grieg

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Folks

I thought I'd share a cut from the latest release on Edvard Griegs own 
piano. The piece is from Edvard Griegs Peasant Dances op 72. This is 
number 2: Jon Væstafæs Spring Dance.

Executive Producer Erid Gard Amundsen
Producer Tony Harrison
Recording Engineer Geoff Miles
Piano Technician Richard Brekne

Pianist Ingfrid Breie Nyhus
Piano Edvard Griegs Steinway and Sons "B"
Pitch A= 442

The whole CD is available on Simax PSC 1287

Note the pronounced killer octave sound and the rather undefined bass... 
especially D2 and D#2.  In the latest (yet to be released) recording 
work we tuned to 436 and the instrument became quite beautiful.  More on 
that later... a fascinating story full of conflict, myth, magic and more.

Cheers
