Cheap but Good
For 6 bucks you can't beat it. Here's a chance to hear more than the usual Peer Gynt suite, which frankly, was getting boring to my ears. This is what Peer Gynt was 'spozed to sound like, with the operatic elements adding to the fullness and interest of the orchestral parts. Unlike another reviewer, I didn't find the recording particularly unmusical, and I liked the...

Terrible Recording, please look elsewhere...
Although Sylvia McNair sings beautifully as Anitra and Sloveig, Tate doesn't conduct well, and the Berlin Philharmonic sounds very emotionally detached from this piece.

Cheap but Good, July 24, 2004
This review is from: Grieg: Peer Gynt (Selections) (Audio CD)
For 6 bucks you can't beat it. Here's a chance to hear more than the usual Peer Gynt suite, which frankly, was getting boring to my ears. This is what Peer Gynt was 'spozed to sound like, with the operatic elements adding to the fullness and interest of the orchestral parts. Unlike another reviewer, I didn't find the recording particularly unmusical, and I liked the shouting Trolls. I guess Trolls shout, that's what they do, and it added to the power and humor of that piece. I'd buy this one again.

The Hall of the Mountain King sounds terrible. The recording also suffers from poor editing, you hear the trolls yelling after the big closing notes at the end of inside the Hall of the Mountain King when they should have left out that annoying part. In any case, any recording with the choral parts is better than the watered down orchestral only Peer Gynt suites. I love Grieg's music, but this is just a poor performance. You get what you pay for!
