A Rogues' Gallery
Our final "rogue" this month on Choral Showcase is the unforgettable Peer Gynt - from Henrik Ibsen's play about the misadventures of a reckless ne'er-do-well. Edvard Grieg's equally-unforgettable music, familiar to us via two concert suites, is presented in its entirety on this week's show.
