There can be very few musicians who are capable of making silence as audibly vivid as the Norwegian Bugge Wesseltoft, in particular in his solo piano recordings. For 20 years, the most successful of these, It’s Snowing on My Piano, has been treasured as a haven of wintry stillness and contemplation. Listeners all over Europe have responded to it by giving it a permanent place in their lives, do now Wesseltoft and producer Siggi Loch have returned to the original concept of Snowing with Everybody Loves Angels.
The title is a metaphor for the kind of weightless ease which the music conveys; and this time it's not just for winter... The location for the recording has a particular significance for Wesseltoft: “Over the years” , he says, “nature has become an increasingly important source of inspiration for me. In this place there are moments when I experience the feeling of being part of something much bigger. There was no place which could have felt more natural for this recording than Lofoten. The area is beautiful but also harsh, as is life here, just as it was for my great-grandfather, who was born here. To make a recording in the unbelievable LofotKatedralen brought all these things together for me.”
