Night

Nils Frahm fulfills last year’s promise to follow up Day, the collection of solo piano music he released last March. Night contains five new tracks on vinyl. A CD version, Night and Day, includes all eleven tracks from both Day and Night. Frahm recorded the pieces on Night on the Klavins M450 piano, installed in his studio at the renowned Funkhaus complex in Berlin. It was built by German-Latvian piano maker David Klavins for the first Piano Day in 2015, a celebration that will mark its 10th anniversary this March. At 4.5 meters tall and weighing over a tonne, the model was the largest upright piano in the world at the time. The record is a reminder that, although he has since become celebrated for the complex, intricate arrangements of his most commercially successful multi-instrumental albums, Frahm first made his name with similarly meditative piano compositions on albums like 2009’s The Bells, 2011’s
