Record Release Concert "The Bells"


October 2009 Record Release Concert "The Bells" Play My Tape PMT#64 (podcast)

Hello,

my name is Nils Frahm and i play the piano.

What you will hear now, is a recording of my release concert in the Grunewald Chucrh, Berlin, performed on the 12th of June in 2009. The evening was organised by "elevator music" and i had the honor to share it with Dustin O'Halloran, Greg Haines and Anne Muller.

The concert took place, where i recorded my solo piano album "the bells" with my good friend Peter Broderick. We spent two wonderful days together in this church, recording piano and enjoying the incredible natural reverb of that space.

Thanks to all my good friends...you made it happen.
