Peer Gynt

UPC: 3760115300507

Studio: Bel Air Classiques

Summary: Working in collaboration with Brett Dean and Mark-Anthony Turnage, composer-choreographer Heinz Spoerli authored the ballet Peer Gynt as an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's five-act 1867 play of the same name, set to Edvard Grieg's famous score. The Zurcher Ballett mounted a stage production of the Spoerli-Turnage-Dean work in 2008; a film of that production appears in this release. Philipp Schepmann and Marijn Rademaker share the role of Gynt; Yen Han plays Solveig and Ana Carolina Quaresma portrays Ase. The Zurich Opera Orchestra and Choir lend musical accompaniment under the direction of Eivind Gullberg Jensen. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
