Today is the 180th birthday of Edvard Grieg, the most famous Norwegian composer.
On my last trip, I visited the Fossli Hotel, where Grieg liked to have vacation. In the morning, he walked his dog along the Vøringsfossen waterfall, whom at the top the hotel is located. The piano in the hotel is still the one on which Grieg played and composed hia music.
The richness and diversity of Norwegian landscapes could not but be reflected in the composer’s work. Norway is a very beautiful country, where almost every turn offers a new and extraordinary landscape.
With this video, I wanted to convey the beauty of music in harmony with the magnificent nature of Norway.

Сегодня 180 лет со дня рождения Эдварда Грига - самого известного норвежского композитора.
Ещё в прошлом путешествии, мы побывали в отеле Fossli, куда Григ очень любил приезжать на некоторое время. По утрам он гулял с собакой вдоль водопада Vøringsfossen, у подножия которого и расположен отель. А ещё сохранилось фортепиано, на котором Григ играл и сочинял.
Богатство и разнообразие норвежских пейзажей не могло не отразиться в творчестве композитора. Норвегия очень красивая страна, где практически за каждым поворотом ожидает новый, необыкновенный пейзаж.
Этим видео хотелось передать красоту музыки в гармонии с великолепной природой Норвегии.

VERDI DUO is a duet of professional, glittering and established musicians: the brilliant soprano OLGA PYATNITSKIKH and the virtuoso organist, as well as pianist and composer FRANCESCO BUCCINO.
The VERDI DUO was first conceived for the ambitious project to present opera arias accompanied by that manifold ’wind orchestra’ which is the organ. Now, the repertoire of the musicians Olga Pyatnitskikh and Francesco Buccino is rich of solo piano and organ music from the opera, soprano opera arias, chamber music, folk songs, contemporary music, new music expressly composed for the VERDI DUO by nowadays composers, and Francesco Buccino’s compositions specifically written for the Olga’s colourful voice, which perfectly matches the organ sounds, from the delicate tones to the majestic ones.
You can find the upcoming concerts of Olga Pyatnitskikh on her personal web site:
