Ending and beginning, transparency and opacity. As day turns to night and light fades into darkness, we enter the blue hour of twilight, when the air seems full of mystery, fleetingly saturated in blue and purple hues before inexorably darkening to blackness. It is precisely this elusive change in atmosphere that Alice Sara Ott sets out to capture in musical terms on Nightfall. Her success in accomplishing this feat underlines her status as a pianist of the very highest calibre. The album is a particularly personal artistic project for Alice Sara Ott, documenting the intensity of her musical encounters with the three composers Debussy, Satie and Ravel.
