I always wanted to record more music.
That sounds simple enough, but somehow it never is.
I play live concerts for a living, and that comes with a lot of moving parts. Practicing, rehearsing, travelling, packing, unpacking, sitting on trains, wondering why every train station sandwich tastes slightly disappointed in itself.
It adds up.
This August, I have 23 concerts. On paper, that sounds insane. Actually, it is insane. But there is one good thing about it. I will be in the same city for all of them and the repertoire repeat itself, which means I should finally have my mornings and afternoons to myself.
So I made myself a small summer promise.
I want to record more.
I want to release more.
I want to stop letting finished and unfinished music collect dust on my computer.
Because the funny thing is, I already have many recordings. I made them for projects, competitions, auditions, applications, and other mysterious musician rituals where you record something, and then never look at it again.
But I listened to some of them recently and thought: why am I hiding these?
So I decided to start releasing a few.
If you like classical music, here is my performance of Adagio and Rondo by Carl Maria von Weber.
And if you are into the more hardcore contemporary classical music, which I know is not everyone’s cup of aggressively brewed tea with abstract ingredients, here is my performance of Sacher Variations by Witold Lutosławski.
I hope you enjoy them.
Have a musical day.
