Vienna Concert is a live solo piano album by American pianist Keith Jarrett, released on the ECM label in 1992. It was recorded in concert on July 13, 1991 at the Vienna Staatsoper in Vienna, Austria. It has a forty-two-minute arch-like opening movement that exhibits a much greater debt to classical music than Jarrett's earlier improvised concerts. Jarrett himself wrote in the liner notes to this album: "I have courted the fire for a very long time, and many sparks have flown in the past, but the music on this recording speaks, finally, the language of the flame itself."

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars stating "Jarrett's exalted judgment is close to the mark; though more Eurocentric than ever, these are his most impressive solo performances since Sun Bear".[1]
