This is a delightful post! I have been a huge fan of Grieg ever since I was introduced to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by the 1983 ColecoVision game it (very loosely) inspired haha
Nelson Freire is one of my favourite pianists. His interpretation of Gluck's Melody (“Dance of the Blessed Spirits”) from Orpheus and Eurydice pops to mind, it is captivating and otherworldly, the best interpretation of this piano arrangement I have ever heard...
