Edvard Grieg by Daniel Estrem Daniel Estrem : Edvard Grieg.
 Colorful classical guitar.

The Estrem and Holmquist guitar duo (active from 1971-1988) performs a program of Estrem's transcriptions of 11 Lyric Pieces and the Holberg Suite by Edvard Grieg. The music was originally for piano, and transfers successfully to the medium of guitar duets. Grieg created a world of intimacy and lyricism that is well represented on the classic guitar. The instrument has the ability to project colors and shadings not possible on the keyboard. Also, most of the brief motifs used in the Lyric Pieces are taken from Scandinavian folk music, and the guitar has its own special charm with folk rhythms and melodies.

This album was recorded in an acoustically-live stone church in 1980, released on vinyl but was never re-released as a CD. The master tape was lost, but now 30 years later, with the advances in digital restoration of vinyl albums, this gem of a recording is reborn.

"This music speaks to the heart, and the rapport and sensitivity of the performers recalls the eminent duo of Presti and Lagoya."
