Nik Bärtsch – Entendre (2xLP)

A fascinating solo album from the Swiss pianist, composer and conceptualist. Entendre offers a deeper insight into the musical thinking of Nik Bärtsch and illuminates aspects of his playing and the nature of his modular pieces.

Entendre was recorded in September 2020 at the Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI in Lugano and produced by Manfred Eicher. The album coincides with the release of Nik Bärtsch's book Listening: Music - Movement - Mind, which traces the development of Nik's "ritual groove music" and the philosophy behind it.
