Touch of Time

Følsom duoinnspilling med den norske trompetisten Arve Henriksen og den nederlandske pianisten Harmen Fraanje. Fri improvisasjon av to mesterlige musikere, der den ene tar initiativ til et tema som plukkes opp og utvikles av den andre. En fantastisk demonstrasjon av samspill og lydhørhet.A striking musical rapport between Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen and Dutch pianist Harmen Fraanje is palpable in the duo’s quietly lyrical investigations on Touch of Time. These are delicate melodies and textures, flowing between two musicians, who are deeply in tune with nuances of tone-shadings and the detailed development of a musical idea. In both freely improvised forms and carefully wrought themes, their instruments connect gracefully, picking up and finishing each other’s phrases. Touch of Time, recorded in January 2023 at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano, was produced by Manfred Eicher.
