Hardly any musician can make silence as hauntingly audible as the Norwegian Bugge Wesseltoft in his solo piano recordings. The most successful, "It's Snowing On My Piano", is an island of peace and contemplation for the period between the end of November and New Year. With "Everybody Loves Angels", Bugge Wesseltoft and producer Siggi Loch return to the original idea of "Snowing". The album title is a symbol for the weightless, calming lightness that the music exudes. This time for the whole year.
