  • Description

    Silent, Listening is a major addition to ECM's distinguished line of solo piano recordings, featuring one of the outstanding improvising pianists and jazz masters of our time: Fred Hersch. The album features seven original creations and a handful of well-chosen standards, including Billy Strayhorn's "Star-Crossed Lovers", Sigmund Romberg's "Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise", Alec Wilder's "Winter Of My Discontent" and Russ Freeman's "The Wind", all played with the focus, sensitivity and gracefulness for which Hersch is renowned. Developed with producer Manfred Eicher in the responsive acoustics of the Lugano studio, the album was recorded in May 2023.
