◆本CDについて◆
エドヴァルド・グリーグによる、イプセン作「ペール・ギュント」＆ビョルンソン作「十字軍の王シーグル」のための劇音楽集（完全版）。ネーメ・ヤルヴィ指揮エーテボリ交響楽団。CD1 #2、3はクヌート・ブエンによるハーディングフェーレ（ノルウェーの民族楽器）独奏です。
三方背スリーブケース。2枚組用ジュエルケース（24mm厚／黒トレイ）。ブックレット（全160頁）にトラックリスト＆クレジット、Finn BenestadとRune J. Andersenによる解説「The Authentic Versions of Grieg's "Peer Gynt" and "Sigurd Jorsalfar"」（英語原文と独・仏・伊訳）、Anthony Burtonによる解説「Edvard Grieg: Music for the Theatre」（英語原文と独・仏・伊訳）、演奏者紹介「Neeme Järvi」「Barbara Bonney」「Marianne Eklöf」「Kjell Magnus Sandve」「Urban Malmberg」「Wenche Foss」「Toralv Maurstad」「Tor Stokke」「Knut Buen」（英・独・仏・伊）、歌詞対訳「Peer Gynt」「Sigurd Jorsalfar」（ノルウェー語原文と独・英・仏訳）、カセット（CrO₂）／ドルビー・システム／コンパクト・ディスクについて（英・独・仏・伊）、モノクロ図版15点、ブックレット表紙はグリーグ肖像画（カラー）。
「ペール・ギュント」は原作はともかくグリーグの音楽はたいへんすばらしいです。「山の魔王の宮殿にて」は劇伴なので「殺せ！」とか「丸焼きにしろ！」とか殺伐とした歌詞＆セリフが入っています。リフがかっこいいです。
