| Description: Holberg Suite was composed in the Baroque dance-suite style of Holberg’s time, and consists of five movements, with the Air and Rigaudon comprising the fourth and fifth of these. Since Grieg’s transcription in 1885, Holberg Suite has become a beloved standard in the string orchestra repertoire. In this arrangement, careful attention has been paid to the original intentions in Grieg’s masterpiece. |
