Listen on YouTube:
Solotude was recorded on Abdullah Ibrahim’s birthday in October 2021, in the Hirzinger Hall of Riedering, known for its exceptional acoustics. The album radiates warmth, timelessness, and introspective solitude.
It features classics like Blues For A Hip King and The Wedding, alongside rarely recorded pieces such as Tokai and new compositions including Once Upon A Midnight and Signal On A Hill. The title, Solotude, reflects both the solitary nature of the performance and the intimate connection between pianist and audience, even in an empty hall.
“Blue Bolero unfolds with a hypnotic, meditative pulse, showcasing Ibrahim’s ability to transform a rhythmic motif into an intimate solo reflection.”
