Hm. It's not particularly bad, and the playing is impressive, but I'm not a huge fan of this arrangement.

I was expecting a Busoni-esque arrangement full of Romantic idioms. Grieg mostly stays in the classical language, but he somewhat destroys the one thing that the original piece has going for it, namely its lightness (take that away and it becomes a rather boring piece).

[jon-nyc]

Nope.

Speaking of questionable arrangements, recently I stumbled upon this one. Didn't like it at all.
