MOUNTAIN DANCE

Renowned Norwegian pianist Rune Alver is set to captivate classical music lovers once again with the highly anticipated reissue of his celebrated album “Mountain Dance”, originally released in 2004. This evocative recording, which showcases visionary piano works by the young Edvard Grieg, will be reintroduced with remastered audio that deepens the listener’s connection to Norway’s rich musical heritage.

“Mountain Dance” is more than an album—it’s a journey through Grieg’s early genius, interpreted with Alver’s signature warmth, clarity, and poetic phrasing. The reissue features standout pieces such as Fjellslått (Mountain Dance), The Bridal Procession Passes, and Improvisations on Two Norwegian Folk Songs, each rendered with Alver’s deep sensitivity to Norwegian folk traditions and romantic nuance.

Alver, a Bergen native and internationally acclaimed performer, has long been celebrated for his interpretations of Grieg’s works, including performances at the Edvard Grieg Museum Troldhaugen and a solo recital at Carnegie Hall. His artistry bridges the past and present, breathing new life into compositions that continue to resonate across generations.

Rune Alver (b. 1957) made his debut as pianist at the age of twenty. He was born in Bergen and educated at the Bergen Conservatory of Music and the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo. Alver is active as soloist and chamber musician and maintains a rigorous concert schedule, having performed in Germany, France, Russia, China, South Africa and the USA. He has participated in television and radio productions of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) and the French radio station France Musique, just to mention a few.
