Nils Frahm is keeping his promise from last year and is releasing another piano album after Day. Night, which contains five new tracks, and also as a CD version Night & Day, which combines all eleven pieces from Day and Night. Frahm recorded the pieces on Night on the Klavins M450 - a unique piano located in his studio in Berlin's Funkhaus. It was built by the German-Latvian piano maker David Klavins for the first Piano Day in 2015 - a holiday initiated by Frahm, which will be celebrated for the tenth time this March with concerts and events around the globe. At 4.5 meters high and weighing over a ton, it was the largest upright piano in the world at the time. The new album is a reminder that while Nils Frahm has long been known for his complexly arranged, multi-instrumental works, he originally established his reputation with equally meditative piano compositions on albums such as The Bells (2009), Felt (2011) and Screws (2012). Like Day, Night shows that Frahm remains a master of subtle beauty - with pieces full of tenderness, elegance and a concise expressiveness that lingers long after the listener has heard it.
