If that’s the case, the end couldn’t be more beautiful.\" (Politiken ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️)\n\n“Light will stand proudly amongst Palle Mikkelborg’s greatest achievements, whether he decides to go on performing music or not.” (Everything is Noise)\n\n“Palle Mikkelborg has made a masterpiece with Light” (GAFFA)\n\n“Light is the perfect distillation of Mikkelborg’s musical life – a cavalcade of the qualities that have always defined him as a musician: light, colour, life, mysticism, love.” (Seismograf)\n\n“Monumental and simple at the same time” (Jazznyt)\n\nPalle Mikkelborg (b. 1941) - a spiritual jazz legend, acclaimed composer, trumpet player and electronic music pioneer - is back in the studio recording his first solo album in more than 25 years. Working with him as a producer is Jakob Bro, with whom he has recorded the great ECM albums \"Returnings\" with Jon Christensen and Thomas Morgan, and \"Strands\" with Marilyn Mazur.\n\n\"When Palle decided to stop touring and performing live, I suggested that we sit down together and listen through the many MiniDiscs and DAT tapes he had tucked away, hoping we might find a new direction for making music together. We went through everything — recordings of orchestras and choirs, soundscapes, and so on — material he had worked on throughout his career,” says Jakob Bro.\n\n“I can still remember the first time we said it out loud. Suddenly, it made perfect sense in my mind: a solo album. An album devoted entirely to Palle — his sound, his vision, his voice. It felt like something the world truly needed.”\n\nThis final opus sees Palle Mikkelborg re-interpret and record his own orchestral works and two pieces by Per Nørgaard and Thomas Laub as 'meditations' on solo piano, trumpet and flugelhorn mixed with soundscapes and guest performances by longtime collaborators Helen Davis, Jakob Bro and Thomas Li.\n\nAs a soloist his sound on trumpet and flugelhorn is both much loved and familiar after decades at the forefront of Nordic Music, but on “Light” one is struck by the weight Palle Mikkelborg has given his soundscapes and the grand piano. Forever curious on what's ahead, the album underlines his spiritual and ever-seeking approach to free improvisation, classical composition, choral works and experimental sound landcapes.\n\nFilm by Andreas Koefoed\nCinematography: Adam Jandrup \u0026 Andreas Koefoed\n\nMusic: \"Capricorn\" composed and performed by Palle Mikkelborg. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 439px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2594880759\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lovelandcph.bandcamp.com\/album\/light\"\u003eLight Palle Mikkelborg\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Loveland Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49676504236291,"sku":"LLM030","price":6410.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/a2029300923_10.jpg?v=1790073526","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/palle-mikkelborg-light-lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
