Silence, clearness and simplicity are the musical ideals of Norways leading instrumentalist, Øystein Sevåg. His fourth solo album extends his popular fusion of Jazz Ambient and World music into the Classical dimension, adding the warm strings of The Philharmonia Orchestra of London, a string quartet, the extraordinary over-tone singing of vocalist Sonia Loinsworth and the sublime playing of his wife, German violinist Maria Sevåg.
Backed by the sweet soprano and tenor sax, yearning electric guitar, clear Nordic instrumental colours and solid rhythm support of his Global House Band, Sevåg's grand piano and keyboards have never sounded more noble.
Satisfying, always musical, deep as the cobalt blue fjords, passionate as a gypsy melody, elegant as a fine sculpture - 'Bridge' brings it all together in a masterpiece of contemporary European music.
