The Christian Elsässer Trio has released their latest album, Rediscovering Peer Gynt, which is a beautiful tribute to the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. The album features a series of jazz interpretations of Grieg's famous composition, Peer Gynt Suite, which was originally written for Henrik Ibsen's play of the same name.
The trio, which consists of pianist Christian Elsässer, bassist Matthias Pichler, and drummer Peter Gall, delivers a stunning performance that blends the classical and jazz genres seamlessly. The album features a range of tracks that showcase the trio's impressive musical abilities, with Elsässer's virtuosic piano playing taking center stage.
The album's opening track, "Morning Mood," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its gentle, flowing melody. The trio's interpretation of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is a standout track, with its lively tempo and intricate piano melodies. "Solveig's Song" is another beautiful track that showcases Elsässer's delicate touch on the piano.
