Recording & Production

All recordings on this album are taken from live performances at the Husum festival and are unedited, meaning occasional 'noises off' may be heard.

Recording & Production

Peter Froundjian, the festival's founder, made the initial choice of music for this album, with his co-producer Jesper Buhl and Danacord handling the technical aspects.

Cultural Impact

The Husum festival has had considerable influence worldwide, leading to more ambitious concert programs and record companies taking on a wider repertoire.

Album & Artwork

This album features a particularly large number of short pieces by fourteen different composers, thoughtfully arranged into groups and sequences for a coherent listening experience.

Composition History

The Husum festival, where these recordings were made, was conceived by Peter Froundjian to feature unknown and rarely played piano music, proving to be a stroke of genius since 1987.

Historical Context

The Covid pandemic led to wider use of Livestream relays, allowing the Husum festival to make some concerts available worldwide, enabling a viewer in Singapore to review a concert online.
