Following on from Ola Gjeilo's hugely-successful 2020 album Night, comes its natural successor Dawn. Gjeilo is best known for his compositions for choir and is one of the most frequently performed choral composers alive. That success has quickly translated to his work for solo piano. Raised listening to an eclectic mix of classical, jazz, pop and folk, and classically trained at The Julliard School and the Royal College of Music, Gjeilo’s distinctive soundworld is often is often described as cinematic and evocative, lush and harmonious. Improvisation has long been at the core of Gjeilo’s composition, and that is clearly heard in his meditative, soothing work for solo piano.
