"Five Stars. The sound is intimate and warm, the expressive quality chaste, yet not without strength in vigorous passages; technically, the playing is immaculate, every sound precisely weighed."
- BBC Music Magazine
"An unmissable selection ... we are in the presence of a great keyboard master whose characterization and control of colour and articulation are wholly remarkable."
- The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music
"Here, surely, is a classic recording, one of calibre and status for all time. Gilels registers every nuance and modulation with an astonishing yet unobtrusive sensitivity. The recordings remain as impeccable as the playing. This is a disc for everyone’s desert island."
- Gramophone
Late Russian pianist Emil Gilels, considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, lovingly recorded these 20 selections from Grieg's oeuvre of 66 short Lyric Pieces in 1974. The programme opens and closes with Grieg's first and very last lyric pieces and includes Butterfly, one of Grieg's best known compositions.
