Description:
Award winning contemporary performer Ellen Ugelvik releases new performances by Helmut Lachenmann, Christian Blom and Christian Jaksju. in 'Serenade' two music pieces are played on top of each other, one piece reverberating out in the room, while the other piece is mutely pressed down into the musical keyboard. The result offers an interesting musical ambiance. The pieces by Blom and Jaksju discover even further the unexplored timbres of the grand piano.
