Description
The twin albums 'Shimmering' and 'Images' were recorded by Ketil Bjørnstad alone, on the same C. Bechstein grand piano, but in two different studios and with a two-year interval. In many respects the album is an extension of the project Bjørnstad began with the exceptionally popular and critically acclaimed 3CD release 'The Rainbow Sessions' (Emarcy/Universal) from 2006. Solo piano recordings are a running theme throughout Ketil Bjørnstad"s extensive discography. His first piano album, 'Tredje Dag' (Philips, 1975), appeared only two years after his debut album, 'Åpning', which marked his break with classical music in earnest and heralded his growing interest in jazz, improvisation and composition. Since then he has cultivated this format in both a series of popular records and hundreds of concerts all over the world. Bjørnstad"s solo piano albums often take the form of an improvised recital. He comes to the studio mentally prepared, but without a clear plan, and lets his surroundings, the studio and, not least, the grand piano inspire him and determine the musical course that he will follow in the recording session. The music flows freely, alternating between totally improvised segments and new versions of songs and musical fragments that hold profound meaning for him. In these intimate musical encounters we get close to musician and artist Ketil Bjørnstad. He stretches a large canvas, both dynamically and emotionally, and also gets close to us, the listeners. -
