6/6 to Espen Berg's "The Trondheim Concert" in Nettavisen!
“Some of the most amazing and most significant solo piano music that has been created in a very, very long time. […] Espen Berg is a master pianist that belongs up there with the very greatest. Big words? Yes, but that’s just how it is.”
- Tor Hammerø, Nettavisen
Five years after releasing his second solo album, Acres of Blue, Espen Berg decided to do a fully improvised piano concert and a live recording. This one-taker is a culmination of years of development, reflection and research. The music created in the moment reflects his emotions in a profound way, and every time he play it’s different. Every second of music is unique, and it feels like an endless resource both musically and spiritually. The Trondheim Concert is recorded at Dokkhuset.
