A journey to Grieg's Peer Gynt

Sara Mohr-Pietsch takes us on a musical journey towards Edvard Grieg's music for the play Peer Gynt.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch takes us on a musical journey towards Edvard Grieg's music for the play Peer Gynt. It was a commission he wasn't happy with, but it resulted in some of his best tunes, including Morning and In the Hall of the Mountain King. On the way we hear other music for plays by Mendelssohn, Thomas Arne and Jocelyn Pook, and music inspired by folklore by Wagner and singer Kerry Andrew.

To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: "Ask 蜜芽传媒 Sounds to play Music Map."
