About

With Personal Best, Norwegian composer Eivind Buene presents a new work written for Trio Accanto that blurs the boundaries between composition, performance, and reflection.

The title suggests competition and measurement, but Personal Best turns the idea inward. Rather than striving for virtuosity in the conventional sense, the work investigates what it means to perform at one's limits-artistically, physically, and mentally. The instrumental writing moves between sharply etched gestures and moments of suspended clarity, creating a constantly shifting terrain in which sound, text, and presence interact. The result is a work that feels at once rigorously constructed and strikingly immediate.

The album also includes Serious Songs, Buene's adaptations of Johannes Brahms's Four Serious Songs. Here Buene himself appears as singer, his performance bringing back imperfection and vulnerability to art music and blurring the boundaries between real life and the art of interpretation.
