180 Gram Vinyl Audiophile Release! Pressed at Pallas!
Pre-Mastering & DMM Disc Cutting by Hendrik Pauler!
A selection of lyrical, reflective tracks from Ola Gjeilo's piano albums on the 2L label - Stone Rose and Piano Improvisations.
Featuring music created in the spur of the moment, straight from the heart, as well as pieces inspired by a deep connection to New York life and scenerythis collection contains some of Gjeilos most soulful and passionate music. Ranging from the introspective wistfulness of Dark Blue to the serene joyfulness of Snow in New York, and to fantasies around his own choral works (Ubi Caritas, Tota Pulchra Es); common for all tracks are a heartfelt lyricism grounded in Ola's love for the piano.
Ola Gjeilo (pronounced Yay-lo) was born in Norway in 1978 and moved to America in 2001 to begin his composition studies at the Juilliard School in New York City. Today his published concert works are performed all over the world. Ola's interest in film has influenced his music as he draws a lot of inspiration from movies and cinematic music.
"2Ls Morten Lindberg covers all the bases with his super-hi-res recordings. First he released these two solo piano efforts in packages that included both audio-only (Purist Audio) Blu-rays plus multichannel SACDs of exactly the same tracks. Now he has selected ten tracks from the first album and a dozen from the second (due to the per-side time limits of LPs) to release on direct metal mastered audiophile vinyl. He used the DXD stereo master, provided as the 2-channel option on the Blu-rays, for the source. It is a 352.8K/24-bit file and was converted directly to analog to feed the vinyl cutting lathe, with no lossless compression as with the DTS-HD tracks on the Blu-rays. Both sessions were recorded in the Softenberg Church in Oslo, not in a studio..." - Audiophile Audition 2013
