Free Music Review: One of Rypdal's best
Hit: 4 Stars
Rypdal has long been a favorite even though he can put out some very uneven albums (or the occasional clunker like the recent Vossabryg - inspired by an album I don't like, Miles Davis's Bitches Brew.) This one makes up for that last one I bought. Except for a couple of brief passages it's a very strong album.
Rypdal and Bjornstad manage to blend two instruments, Fender strat and acoustic piano, that don't always meld well in other hands. And to their further credit they live up to their self-proclaimed title as Melody Warriors. There are a couple of old faves of Rypdal's such as Return of Per Ulv and The Pleasure is Mine(?). But Bjornstad offers some beautiful songs variously numbered, The Sea no. 2, etc. and more.
It is a comparatively subdued album - at least when stood up next to his work with the Chasers and others. But if you adore Rypdal's guitar playing as I do this is a very good one. The music samples on this site really are indicative of what you'll get on the album. Yes, I'm happy to see Rypdal back in my good graces!
Life in Leipzig Poster
This is the first duo album from Norwegians Ketil Bj?rnstad and Terje Rypdal who have played together in diverse constellations since 1992. It is an exciting live album recorded in Leipzig's Opera House, Bj?rnstad's first live album for the label. Cranked-amp electric guitar and acoustic piano is a rare, possibly unique, duo combination and this is a readily accessible, strongly melodic, often rocking album!Classical Music CDs
