Reception
Jarrett reportedly defined it as his best concert.[5] The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Jarrett's exalted judgment is close to the mark; though more Eurocentric than ever, these are his most impressive solo performances since Sun Bear."[6] It exemplifies what has been described as ”long arcs of improvisation that characterised his earlier landmark solo piano series”.[7]
