A solo concert from Keith Jarrett - recorded on the last night of a 2016 European tour at Munich's Philharmonie - finds the great improvising pianist at a peak of invention. Creating a spontaneous suite of forms in the moment with the assurance of a master builder - interspersing touches of lyricism between pieces of polyrhythmic and harmonic complexity - he delivers one of his very finest performances. The audience hangs on every note, every nuance, and is rewarded with tender, magical encores. |

Forty years have passed since Gidon Kremer created a little musical oasis in the Austrian town of Lockenhaus in 1981. The violinist’s open-minded attitude has left its mark on this event, which has become a must in the concert calendar, and the cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, who took up the torch in 2012, continues the same philosophy. |

Atrium, Danish cellist and composer Josefine Opsahl's debut on Dacapo Records, is a strikingly original statement that explores the duality of her music. Opsahl's distinctive set-up consists of cello and live electronics, which are combined into a well-defined box of digital loops, bodies and buildings, woman and machine. |
