W grocie Króla Gór ze Suity „Peer Gynt” op. 46 nr 1 (1996)

Overview

The waves of the fjords hit the shore waking the little gnome. In a fantastic mountain landscape, the gnome finds the entrance to a mysterious grotto. Fascinated by the flickering light, he follows the direction from where it comes. The creeping gnome is watched from behind picturesque rocks by trolls. Behind the next rock paragraph, the gnome notices the shadows of the trolls dancing in a frenzied rhythm. Above a huge bonfire towers the figure of the King of the Mountains. The gnome is pulled into the dancing circle. In the final stage of the ecstatic dance, the King of the Mountains leaps into the fire and emerges from it as the all-powerful ruler of the underworld.
