Info for Yiruma: Piano Music 'River Flows in You'

Der Südkoreaner Yiruma (1978 als Lee Ru-ma) begann als Fünfjähriger mit dem Klavierspiel und zog nur sechs Jahre später nach London, um dort an renommierten Konservatorien seine Ausbildung fortzusetzen. Mit »River Flows in You« aus seinem zweiten Album »First Love« (2001) feierte Yiruma seinen internationalen Durchbruch. In seinen Kompositionen vereint er Filmmusik-Elemente, New-Age-Musik mit melodischen Popeinflüssen zu einer postmodernen Neoklassik, die weltweit Hörerschichten jenseits des üblichen Klassik-Publikums anspricht.

Der niederländische Pianist Jeroen van Veen erweitert seit Beginn seiner erfolgreichen Karriere vorurteilsfrei seinen musikalischen Horizont. Nachdem er bereits den italienischen Neoklassiker Ludovico Einaudi für sich entdeckt hat, ist Yirumas Musik eine logische Konsequenz seines Repertoires. Das Etikett »einfache Musik« scheut van Veen dabei nicht, ihm geht es stets um die Wirkung: Das Hörerlebnis steht auf dem vorliegenden Album, so wie immer bei van Veens Produktionen, im Fokus.

Die Aufnahmen entstanden Ende Juni 2014 im Studio 1 der Van Veen Productions im niederländischen Culemborg; das Booklet enthält Anmerkungen zum Komponisten und zum Pianisten sowie persönliche Anmerkungen Jeroen van Veens.
