About the Album

Alfred Schnittke once said about composing, 'When you work on a composition, you create a world.' The Piano Concerto from 1979 is in one movement and represents a world worth listening to.

Producers note:

These live recordings are part of a series television productions, where I was responsible for the artistic producing and main audio technique. These productions were initially for the streaming services of Takt-1 and the Norwegian broadcasting company NRK.

The audio recordings were made with the use of HQ|NORTHSTAR's HQMM principle in full 5.1 surround sound and are constructed with material form initial rehearsals and live performances, with as overall basis the concert on the 27th of April 2023 in the Stavanger Concert hall.

Technical facilities were supplied by the NRK, with the legendary Per Ravnaas as chief engineer. To me it proved the effectiveness of the HQMM® microphone technique as it delivers an optimal holographic representation of the performance.
