Live Christoph Stiefel

Live! Is the first UK album from top Swiss pianist Christoph Stiefel's Inner Language Trio. It is the first time Basho has released music from an all-European ensemble. Many of Stiefel's pieces use the compositional device of Isorhythms, a concept dating from the middle ages but which leads to a very contemporary sound. 'Live!' captures the trio liberated from the restrictions of the studio in Saalfelden, Amburg and Munchen. The album summarizes and builds on eight years of work and finds the musicians reaching remarkable levels of empathy and interaction.
