Hello Bugge,
thank you very much for your extraordinarily gripping concert in Cologne's Altes Pfandhaus. For me sitting just a metre from you was a special pleasure. There was a memorable closeness between audience and musicians. I hope my taking photos did not bother you. It is not often that you can get that close to the artist.
I also loved your concert with Henrik Schwarz in the Philharmonie in Cologne. It was phenomenal.
Gerard posted some photos. Thanks!!
Best Wishes
Gerhard Richter

Read moreHi. Just wanted to express my proudnes for finally beeing able to recommend ECM on Gubemusic. In my opinion ECM stands out as the most directional recordlabel in modern history with its clear sound ideals, artwork and musical awarenes. Where most other music of today will be forgotten tomorrow, ECM will remain with its timeless music all created under supervision of Manfred Eicher. (Another label that comes to my mind projecting some of the same qualitys is Basic Channel and Maurizio, also German but at the opposite spectre of sound, Electronic Music but still with the same efforts to achieve clear directional musical ideas). Just wanted to be the first on Gubemusic to recommend 4 fantastic albums from ECM. Albums that meant so much to me in my growth as a musician. It should be no secret that ECM and Norwegian music holds strong lines, and have been growing together from the beginning. Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Arild Andersen, Jon Christensen, Jan Erik Kongshaug. All of them my heroes and my without doubt most important pathfinders, making it possible to believe in creating music out of scandinavian jazz ideals. Here the are: The 4 most influental ECM albums for me.
