On Perfect Happiness, Nils Vigeland focuses his attention on an instrument that has been the center of his musical life for decades, the piano. His childhood immersion in the canonic repertoire led to exploration, improvisation, and eventually his calling to become a composer. Vigeland’s approach to the piano is equally informed by this grounding as it is by his conception of the instrument as a sui generis mechanism, one particularly suited for shaping resonant sonorities. The pieces contained on this album all draw us into the very personal and characteristic sound world that Nils Vigeland has cultivated in his piano works, played with virtuosity and sensitivity by Jing Yang.
