This is the first release of a treasured album that completely records the performance of the Scandinavian diva Victoria Tolstoy, whose great-grandfather was the literary giant Tolstoy, and the early Esbjorn Svensson Trio at Jazz Baltica, Germany's largest festival, on the highest quality stereo sound board! ! Victoria Tolstoy and E.S.T. had often performed together before they both signed with the ACT label, and this extremely rare live performance on June 13, 1998 at Jazz Baltica, which was led by Nils Rundgren and was called a miraculous collaboration at the time, has been carefully mastered by the label itself, and this miraculous item has been completely recorded for over 70 minutes on the highest quality stereo sound board! ! It makes you wonder if Nils Rundgren, who watched this performance, was heavily involved in signing E.S.T. and Victoria to the ACT label, to which he also belongs! The concert started with "Calling Home" by E.S.T. alone, which lasted over 15 minutes. Like the rippling waves, Esbjorn Svensson's piano is already at a perfect level, and what a rich fragrance is hidden in a quiet single note. Magnus Ostrom and Dan Berglund are immovable on bass and drums. The breathing of these three people sounds like the breathing of one person, and you can get intoxicated with the strangeness. From the second song, Miss Victoria, who is beautiful and has a beautiful voice, appears. She is delicate, graceful, and deep, and she spins poetry freely and with a lot of emotion. She is a perfect match with E.S.T., and the more you listen to it, the more you will be amazed by the wonderful collaboration, and you will want to listen to it more. It can be said that it is a miraculous encounter. In addition, each song features Svensson's piano/trio performance more than Victoria's songs, so even those who are not good at vocals will have no problem. At the time, Suisei's talent was still only heard in Scandinavia, mainly Sweden, but this was the trigger for the talent to finally spread to Europe and the world. The world is waiting for Esbjörn Svensson Trio and Victoria Tolstoy at one of the biggest festivals in Germany, which attracts the attention of many people in the music industry from all over the world!
