Espen Berg’s new, completely improvised, solo piano concert from Trondheim has some of the excitement of a Cecil Taylor concert but with so much more.

So many things change while listening to this ten part album. Moods shift from peaceful to electrifying. The pace suddenly picks up or slows down.

Melodies jump from light to dark or are merely implied. Phrases or notes are played over and over until used up and then they move on. It’s mesmerizing. It’s beautiful.

Espen Berg put out his first solo piano recording, Noctilucent, in 2012.

He put out his second, Acres of Blue in 2014. He said he started working on the solo piano format in 2004. Even though that’s a long time to work on something The Trondheim Concert is an amazing feat.
