On Quietudes - Norwegian Moods the orchestra has chosen to present works which demonstrate the legacy of Edvard Grieg. Although none of his music is played here, all the composers who are included in one way or another relate to Grieg. This CD presents a synopsis of the wealth of musical development in Norway from the dawning of nationalism of the 1800's, to post-war modernism.
