NEOCLASSICAL PIANO PRELUDES

ToneWork Records would like to present our newest neoclassical piano solo album recorded at Hansa Studios Berlin.

Going the extra mile with our neoclassical piano solo releases, our intention is to highlight and illuminate the real and pure acoustic sound of a live performance on a grand piano.

The eleven Piano Prelude compositions featured on the album are atmospheric, minimalist, contemporary, and classical with subtle shifting harmonic and melodic movements with contrapuntal rhythms.

Album review: Kathy Parsons

NEOCLASSICAL PIANO PRELUDES is a wonderful collection of eleven original solo piano preludes composed and performed by award-winning, multi-faceted German composer and instrumentalist Gerhard Daum. „Preludes“ are were originally defined as shorter pieces intended to be played before larger works, but in the hands of composers like Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov and many others, preludes became entities unto themselves – especially those composed for piano. I have reviewed several of Daum’s many albums and have loved them all. His recorded music that I have heard is more expressive and emotional than flashy, although his soundtrack work covers a wide variety of film genres and musical styles. He has worked extensively in both Germany and the US and is currently based in Berlin.

If you haven’t yet discovered the music of Gerhard Daum, NEOCLASSICAL PIANO PRELUDES is a great place to start! Longtime fans will also be delighted with this new work! It is available from Amazon, Apple Music/iTunes, and many streaming sites including Spotify. Very highly recommended!
