Info for The Beginning - and the End

On November 22nd we conclude the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Ketil Bjørnstads musicianship with another new album; The Beginning - And The End.

Bjørnstad was only 16 years old when he debuted as a pianist. That happened on January 10th 1969 with the Norwegian Philharmonic Orchestra in the awe inspiring assembly hall of the University in Oslo. – Maybe that is why I booked Rainbow Studio here in Oslo on that exact date this year, because I wanted to return to my origins, Bjørnstad says.

2019 has been a celebration of Bjørnstads musicianship, with a reissue of his album Rainbow Sessions, the release of the gorgeous CD box The World I Used To Know, and with to sold out shows in the prestigious Oslo Opera House. Luckily, there is more before his 50th anniversary comes to and end. The Beginning - And The End is the title of the final release to come from Bjørnstad this year. The album has previously been exclusive to the box set of The World I Used To Know.
