Grieg’s popular warhorse gets the stirring, lyrical treatment it deserves from a much-energized Fiedler. The sound is full, detailed and HUGE, a fitting tapestry for Fiedler’s driving and playful interpretation. Check out the dynamic range of the first suite (which features “Morning” and “In the Hall of the Mountain King”): You will be hard-pressed to find a better showcase for the power and transient response of any high-end analog playback system. Though there are many popular versions of Grieg’s masterwork, this is the most transcendent performance ever caught on tape.
