Vienna Concert is a live solo album by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett recorded on July 13, 1991 at the Vienna State Opera in Vienna, Austria, and released by ECM September the following year.[1][2]
A 2016 concert in Vienna was released in May 2025[3] and called New Vienna, in reference to this album.[4]
Reception
[edit]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]
