a| Metier is very proud to introduce the first recording of Edvard Griegs unfinished Piano Quintet, as completed masterfully by Michael Finnissy. Keeping closely within the bounds of the musical language known to Grieg, this new completion produces a 27-minute single-movement work of extreme quality. The second work on the album takes Griegs Quintet as its starting point and develops it gradually, adding more and more contemporary and free harmonies and melodic lines, as a modern-day reflection on the original Quintet. The internationally renowned Kreutzer Quartet again produce a masterful performance with pianist Roderick Chadwick.
