Grieg: Greatest Hits. When Nationalism swept Europe it had its impact on music as well, with composers turning to the folk music of their native countries for inspiration. One of the most successful of these composers was Edvard Grieg, whose work clearly evokes his native Norway. Best known for the incidental music he wrote for Henrik Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt," which includes "Morning Mood" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King," another favorite is his equally popular Concerto in A Minor Piano and Orchestra. Other choice pieces in this collection would be his Norwegian Dance, No. 2, the "Homage March" from the "Sigurd Jorsalfar Suite," and the "March of the Trolls" from his "Lyric Suite."
