Grieg | Cello Concerto & Songs for Cello and Orchestra
Raphael Wallfisch needs offer no apology for these delightful and effective orchestrations of Grieg's solo works and songs, or for his elegant and thoughtful performances. Even if Joseph Horovitz's orchestration of the well-known Cello Sonata doesn't sound particularly like Grieg's orchestral writing, the advocacy of Wallfisch and beauty of the music make the question irrelevant. At times, Horovitz's wind scoring is reminiscent of another nationalist composer, Dvorák.
