The ambitious German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott takes up a wondrous assortment of works by Edvard Grieg in this loving tribute to the Romantic-era composer and his expansive, lyrical music. Her performance of “To Spring” builds on a series of entrancing melodies, intricately weaving a richly textured, rhapsodic collage.
