In the Light is a double album of contemporary classical music by Keith Jarrett which was recorded and released on the ECM label in 1973.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 3 stars noting "In this compendium of eight works for all kinds of ensembles, the then 28-year-old Jarrett adamantly refuses to be classified, flitting back and forth through the centuries from the baroque to contemporary dissonance, from exuberant counterpoint for brass quintet to homophonic writing for a string section".[2]
