GRIEG - PIER GYNT - FJELDSTAD-LSO (180g IMPORT LP)

Fjeldstad's record was one of really outstanding early Decca stereo LPs. The LSO is very sensitive, and the tender string playing in Oveig's Song is quite lovely. The conductor begins "In The Hall of the Mountain King" rather slowly but builds up a blaze of excitement at the end that justifies his conception.
