The première of “Agony and Ecstasies of a young Soul” occurred last week during the 8th Rio Harp Festival. Ronith Mues performed it twice there beside a few classics from the harp repertoire (Fantasie by Louis Spohr, Légende by Henriette Renié,…). I shall post the recording at the beginning of June.
After years of hesitation, I could not resist the spell of the harp any longer and am venturing into composing a solo piece for the instrument. The composition will be premièred by the mesmerizing Ronith Mues from the Konzerthausorchester Berlin in early May in Rio de Janeiro.
It has been a couple of months now but it is never too late to announce a piece of good news: Fritz Kalkbrenner’s new album Sick Travellin’ is out and my guitars are all over the place.
This is Jean Beers’ performance of Of Gas and Dust, recorded live during her piano recital in King’s College London in December 2012.
A few words about my indie-pop band Vember: the new album has been recorded between April and June with producer Simon Frontzek (Tomte) and should be released in early 2013. Until then, here are two short videos featuring two new songs (So wie wir sind and 63 Stufen) and footages of concerts we did in Hamburg and Kiel in last September. Viel Spaß!
The pianist Jean Beers will play Of Gas and Dust on the 8th of December in King’s College London within the frame of a double recital with piano and harpsichord pieces. More informations available here.
Ortwin Stürmer will premiere my first solo piano piece entitled Of gas and Dust tomorrow in Freiburg. Here is the program:
