Album Notes & Community Reviews
Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal seamlessly weaves his incredibly emotive, heavily sustained electric guitar lines through deeply cinematic chamber strings on 'If Mountains Could Sing'. The album perfectly showcases his signature fusion of atmospheric ECM-style jazz and classical orchestration, anchored heavily by soaring, distinctly Nordic melodies. It stands as a breathtakingly beautiful, highly evocative triumph of European contemporary jazz.
