Member of a new generation of romantic pianists Hauschka, alongside Sylvain Chaveau, Goldmund (aka Helios), and Max Richter have been quite prominent, putting emotion and quiet introspection in the center of compositions. Although I’ve never been a huge fan of this music, for I’m on the other end of the realism/romanticism line, I enjoy short breaks of piano meditation especially on cloudy days. Who doesn’t? Anyway, German pianist/composer Hauschka has a new CDR out on Secret Furry Hole Records and it’s quite good.

“these 5 songs are small compositions with composed melodies and they seemed to be pictures or little vague and fast impressions of a long train ride.”
