    Grieg: Lyrische Stücke

    Original Source Vinyl
    €119,00

    Release date: October 10, 2025

    • White Label Vinyl + Covercard


    This recording of 20 of the 66 lyrical pieces by Edvard Grieg, which the Russian keyboard grandmaster Emil Gilels recorded in 1972, can undoubtedly be regarded as a milestone in piano history. Although Grieg's lyrical pieces have a reputation for being manageable even for amateurs, the dynamic and colourful richness of nuance that Gilels brings to the compositions is certainly in a league of its own.

    The audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original four- and eight-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before.
