On February 25th 2022, the new album PEER GYNT by Ragnhild Hemsing will be released on the Berlin Classics label.
Together with the wonderful chamber orchestra Trondheim Soloists, Hemsing has recorded a completely new arrangement of the drama music "Peer Gynt" by Edvard Grieg. For a long time, Ragnhild Hemsing had wanted to transcribe the music of Peer Gynt also on the Hardanger fiddle: "I thought that parts of the music would fit perfectly on the Hardanger fiddle in combination with solo violin and string orchestra. But I wanted to dive deeper into the material, fully aware that folk music and the Hardanger fiddle were sources of inspiration for it."
