Kjell Bækkelund’s last recording was a tribute to Norwegian musical life in a different age. An age when a home was considered not fully furnished if it was without a piano, and someone to play it. People bought and borrowed sheet music, playing and discussing music was quite the fashionable thing. From the inter-war years and beyond the Second World War Bækkelund has picked the finest miniatures, a forgotten part of Norwegian musical tradition that he felt we all needed to be reminded of
