Arne Kollandsrud - Trumpet Meditations

Trumpet meditations
Trumpeter Arne Kollandsrud was inspired by the fantastic ambience in the newly built military airplane hangar located at Gardermoen, Oslo. The music on these recordings gives you an impression of "slow motion living" with lots of time to let the longer thoughts evolve in your mind, and is perfect for meditation and relaxation. Perfect also for making children fall asleep.

PV-records are proud to introduce this fine artist to the audience. Feel free to download samples or buy the album here.
