 we are truly grateful to have Henning Schmiedt to bring out this exquisiteness
in modern classical music to us.
After his critically acclaimed debut album "Klavierraum" was
released in summer last year, Berlin-based pianist Henning Schmiedt
has became one of the most well-known names among the modern classical
fans.
With a debut that still sells very well in countries like Japan, Henning
is now back with his amazing 2nd solo album, "Wolken".
Unlike "Klavierraum" - which was a very personal, peaceful
and intimate album made especially for his pregnant wife, "Wolken",
which carries the meaning of "Cloud" in German, is gorgeously
sprinkled with bright piano sounds that are overflowing with warmth
and gracefulness, without losing Henning’s distinctive style. These
soul-lifting compositions are the outcome of the inspirations Henning
drew from gazing out from his studio window, at the open sky, the chirping
birds, the slow sailing ships and the running river.
In “Wolken”, Henning’s piano sounds are like subtle paint-brush strokes
that graciously coloring the flowing time of its listeners. The delicate
touches of keyboard, the superior technique, the amazing acoustic treatments,
all plotted with simple melodies to form a remarkably graceful ambient,
“Wolken” represents a very distinctive sense of beauty in piano solo
music. And for this, we are truly grateful to have Henning Schmiedt
to bring out this exquisiteness in modern classical music to us.
