Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867 - 1942)
After study in Stockholm and Dresden, the Swedish composer Peterson-Berger settled in the former city, working as a music critic and contributing in a variety of genres to national music, whether in Wagnerian operas, choral works, songs, chamber music or piano pieces. As a critic, conservative in his views, he continued to have considerable influence.
Piano Music
Among the best-known works of Peterson-Berger is Frösöblomster (‘Flowers of Frösön’) of 1896.
Grand Piano has gained a reputation for producing high quality recordings of rare keyboard gems. Dedicated to the exploration of undiscovered piano repertoire, the label specialises in complete cycles of piano works by many lesser-known composers, whose output might otherwise have remained unknown and unrecorded.
