Bridge of Light is an album of contemporary classical music written by Keith Jarrett and performed by Jarrett with The Fairfield Orchestra conducted by Thomas Crawford which was released on the ECM label in 1994.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "This is Keith Jarrett's most accomplished collection of classical compositions yet, seated squarely in the American East Coast neo-classical tradition of Samuel Barber, David Diamond, Irving Fine, etc. Jarrett's writing for strings is masterful here; the lines move and interweave instead of being shoveled on as in some pieces of the '70s, and the compositions have shape and direction. Most of all, they share a common feeling of reflection and an unabashed willingness to let the instrumental soloists sing... Though these works have nothing to do with jazz per se, all Jarrett buffs should investigate this music on its own terms.[2]
