Vanessa Lau

Wilhem Latchoumia and Vanessa Wagner are adventurous pianists whose mastery extends from the standard repertoire to contemporary music.

NYC-based jazz vocalist Vanessa Perea releases new album Lively!, a collection of 10 uptempo Jazz Standards! The album features Robert Edwards on Trombone, Leo Larratt on Guitaar, and Mike Karn on bass.

Noble lamentations (Andante Lagrimoso): here is Liszt in all his diversity. Outstanding even in this company is Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude, one of the composer's finest pieces, a fresco of lofty spirituality. The pianist Vanessa Wagner has chosen to interpolate three pieces by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt in these excerpts from the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses. They are characterised by a decanted musical style, deeply religious in its inspiration, rooted in Gregorian chant and early polyphony. This coupling is a world premiere and it is surprising that no one has yet thought of it, so close are the styles of the two composers. The atmosphere of the recording will be deeply mystical, seeking to suspend the musical gesture.

Das von Grammy-Preisträger Joe Reyes mitproduzierte "Flying on Instruments" zeigt Vanessa von ihrer besten Seite, indem sie mühelos ihre schimmernden Folk/Rock-Melodien mit einprägsamen, zum Nachdenken anregenden Texten verwebt.
