...and this tune, out earlier this month on the album 'The Side of her Inexhaustible Heart' by Dakota Suite & Quentin Sirjacq is the epitome of beauty. I only heard about this album a few days ago and was thinking of this thread, as it happens. I have heard some of it and is a contender for...
Ooh. I like that a lot. I'll return with some Icelandic pianists. Olafar Arnalds recorded the Living Room Sessions earlier this year (in his living room funnily enough) and it's all available as free downloads. This is one of the tunes and he dedicated it to his grandmother.

And...
This is really quite delicate too. It's by Ooah from Glitch Mob - one of my favourite bands. It's called Signal the Captain this is an excerpt from it with some great dance moves in.

I have no idea why but always reminds me of the short story 'The Helmsman' by Kafka*

back to piano and a sneak preview of Nils Frahm's new album, Felt Nils Frahm - Felt (teaser) by erasedtapes on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free
I hope no-one minds me bouncing this old thread, It's just that I stumbled across this chap tonight and have been very impressed.

Cannot believe the grief her record company gave her for showing some tummy in THAT video. Was it the Leeds Utd one? Her voice is amazing. Simply divine.
I'm also currently in love with several girl bands (posted on that current fave band thread).
Amanda Palmer (ex of the Dresden Dolls) has done a ukelele version of Radiohead songs. She does a version of Creep in rehearsals where she holds THAT last note for about 20 seconds. It's just incredible (and apparently she was hungover to buggery from a heavy sesh the night before). I downloaded...
I'd like to bump this thread if I may with these compositions.
Goldmund - Evelyn

Deaf Center - Limn (not so easy going but well worth it IMO

Svarte Greiner - Final Sleep (not piano music but stick with it and hopefully you'll see why...
Slush pots? I'll give you slush pot. This is guaranteed to make anyone of a certain age blub like a baby. Sunday afternoon viewing never got sadder.

Genuinely, this is incredible IMO.
Ahh...TLO, if we're going back in time then I'm with Dave on picking Mozart as the master.
This is without doubt my all time favourite piano concerto. I could quite happily listen to this forever

EDIT - but yes, Gymnopedie is exquisite. Sounds so fragile, I know it sounds wanky...
Got to be worth bouncing this thread purely for this absolutely wonderful track

Never heard of it before and so pleased you mentioned it. :thumbsup:
Sorry - couldn't resist this as well. I must confess that it filled me with tears when I first heard it, soppy bugger that I am.

Sadly, I'm off to bed but if you carry on I promise to return to this tomorrow and no doubt you'll come up with another new artist.
I've got an Arnalds ep that I'll do a copy of and return with all your other cds!
Here's one to end - a Japanese artist called Kakiage Nahoko that specialises in...
That is wonderful 1066FM. Never heard of them but will definitely look out for them now. I'm going to return the favour with a tune by Godspeed you Black Emperor. I'm a huge fan of post-rock and GYBH (and all their forms and spin off bands) are one of the best of the genre.

Apt for a Sunday night (and my current mood). All by artists that cross the classical and pop divide.
First by Olafar Arnalds, an Icelander who has been around for a few years now. I was lucky enough to see him at the Barbican a year or two back. Great stuff.
