The Trondheim Concert Espen Berg, Piano
Five years after releasing his second solo album, Acres of Blue , Espen Berg decided to present a fully improvised piano concert in 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 plays, it’s different. Every second of music is unique, and it feels like an endless resource, both musically and spiritually. The Trondheim Concert was recorded at Dokkhuset. TRACKLIST:
