A Night At Salle Pleyel
''A Night at Salle Pleyel'' is a live instrumental album by Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør, released on 11 November 2011. The album was recorded at Sentrum Scene in Oslo on 18 August 2011, and served as commission piece for the Oslo Jazzfestival's 25th anniversary. It is composed solely of synthesizers with a team of four keyboardists chosen by Sundfør. Background The album was commissioned by the Oslo Jazzfestival, which asked Sundfør to write 44 minutes of music: "I didn't have any other restrictions or guidelines or anything.
