Grieg piano concerto Op. 16 (A minor, i think)
on: February 17, 2005, 01:34:59 AM
I'm looking for a recording of this piece, but I don't know where to find one. If you could recommend a recording, or a website where I might find a good one, I'd appreciate it. I'd also appreciate any other concerto recommendations and where to find the recordings of them, as well. Thank you!

In addition, could I suggest the rendition by Richter?  I think he plays it very well.  Just an idea.
