Brad Mehldau/Switzerland 2021

This is a live recording of Brad Mehldau, who is scheduled to perform in Japan on July 8th this year (2022). Coincidentally, it is exactly the same date, July 8th, one year ago. The sound quality is as good as if you were listening with your head stuck inside the piano. The intervals between songs were cut and edited to fit on one disc. To put it negatively, it doesn’t feel like a live performance, but to put it positively, it sounds like an official studio recording. The set list includes many rock and pop selections from the Beatles, Radiohead, David Bowie, and others. In particular, five Beatles songs are performed, accounting for one-third of the total. He will be performing piano solo with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra in Japan! Go to the ticket booth. No, it was a promotional text for the CD, so please enjoy this solo concert to get through the time until your visit to Japan.
