Piano Concerto in A minor, Op 16

Composer: Edvard Grieg
Performers: 大象传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra
Performer: Christian Hadland (Piano)
Conductor: Pietari Inkinen
Date of broadcast: 04 December 2017

The bold opening timpani roll and dramatic piano flourishes are a statement: here I am. Just another writer of songs and piano pieces, Grieg was almost unknown before the premi猫re of this concerto in 1868. Everyone knew him after the performance. The work shows his interest in Norwegian folk music and it appears in many films, comedies, musicals and computer games.
