Jazz At Berlin Philharmonic Xv [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. For over a decade, ACT Music's Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic series has celebrated extraordinary moments of live jazz in one of the world's most iconic concert halls. In Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic XV, two masters of the piano, Iiro Rantala and Stefano Bollani, join forces for a performance that is as joyful as it is masterful. Rantala, a Finnish virtuoso known for his humor, curiosity, and genre-crossing brilliance, and Bollani, an Italian pianist celebrated for his playful and creative spirit, share a rare musical chemistry. The two first met in 2013, and from their very first collaboration-a playful rendition of the Family Guy theme-their connection was undeniable. This recording captures the energy, humor, and spontaneity of that night. Bollani describes Rantala as a "musical twin brother," and this friendship shines through every note they play together. With Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic XV, listeners are invited into a concert experience brimming with virtuosity, fun, and the deep joy of musical connection-a true highlight of this beloved series.
