Pees / Bamberg - Heinrich & Kunigunde - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The contents of this album present the piano pieces in the music book InchFor all AgesInch, published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen. InchI am totally self-taught and do not compose according to rules. I am only using my ears. Little ideas come to me constantly and if I am lucky to have pencil and music paper at hand, I just write it down. After that I turn to all the other part of the work. Many of the pieces in this collection are obviously simple. There is a reason for that I hardly can play the piano. But that doesn't prevent me from sitting sit at a keyboard and figure out what is practically possible with the two hands. I thought to myself If I can write something that I myself, although with a lot of trouble, can play-it might be not too bad for the student who is slightly experienced. Another thing In a way it is just as difficult to write something simple as to write something complicated. You have to decide every tone rather carefully. Simplicity is a demanding challenge.Inch (Torben Enghoff)

Legendary singer-songwriter Jennifer Warnes has created a beautiful, elegant new album. Much anticipated album! First new in over a decade! Beautifully recorded and carefully mastered.Reuniting with bassist-composer Roscoe Beck (who co-produced her seminal classic Famous Blue Raincoat), Ms. Warnes shapes ten classic tunes into a timeless narrative of living, loving and making sense of changing times.One of the most-loved singers of our time, Jennifer Warnes has returned with a modern-day masterpiece called Another Time, Another Place. With glorious production and performances, and of course, impeccable vocals, Another Time, Another Place features the cream of the crop of songwriters including Eddie Vedder ('Just Breathe'), Mark Knopfler ('Why Worry'), John Legend, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks and more.Joining Warnes are brilliant musicians and friends such as Dean Parks (Steely Dan, Bob Dylan), pedal steel king Greg Liesz (k.d. lang, Eric Clapton) and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Sting). Jennifer Warnes has always been known as someone who makes beautifully crafted records with an open heart, unafraid to show emotion and love through her work. It's the perfect time for Another Time, Another Place.Jennifer's long-time mastering engineer Bernie Grundman artfully brings out all the detail, presence and harmonic body of this amazingly life-like recording. Impex's luxe 180-gram vinyl presentation features an impeccably quiet pressing by RTI, a heavy stock tip-on gatefold jacket that includes a large- 16-page booklet of lyrics and photographs.Every new album Jennifer Warnes creates is a showcase of musical beauty, lovingly crafted and gorgeously performed. We can expect nothing less of one of the world's greatest interpretive singers.
