As Paul Crossley says, "Choosing a group of Grieg Lyric Pieces is not easy - they are that good. Even when I had recorded them, there were more than would fit on one CD, so 'culling them' was even worse. The pieces were published as 10 separate books, so I wanted to include at least one piece from each (if I seem to favor Book 3, Op. 43, it does have some of the best!), and I have listed the pieces in chronological order because there is a distinct emotional journey to be followed."
