Officium (LP)

"Garbarek's purity of intonation, and the sensitivity with which he fitfully spikes it with atonality have rarely been better captured on disc, and far from being a deliberate exercise in musical exotica, this often sounds like the setting that was just waiting to find him [...] Mix his cherishing of intonation and his patience in the unfurling of minute textural variations, and it's recipe for a major musical event. Fastidiously performed, sometimes ecstatic, and lovingly recorded, it's an authentic conversation between jazz and the European classical tradition." - The Guardian
