Nils Frahm: Wintermusik (Erased Tapes edition) (CD, Erased Tapes, December 2009)

I am finding a tendency to overuse words like "lovely" here. This short record of compositions for piano (with accompaniment on celeste, reed organ, and some kind of tapping I can't identify) is, though, lovely. The three tracks each move between liltingly playful and hauntingly wistful. The third, Tristana, makes up over half the album, and is the most contemplative: it is also utterly bewitching.

I bought this from Boomkat. They describe it as Home Listening / Modern Classical / Ambient.
