Great piano playing. To me it feels gentle and nurturing, like handling something special and precious. A piano melody with a warm, peaceful feeling.

At ad21, we are delighted to present Piano Whispers 01, a unique compilation celebrating Piano Day 2025 (March 29). This album brings together 51 talented pianists from around the world, each contributing their artistic vision to the neoclassical piano music landscape.

Greek pianist Manos Milonakis crafts a beautifully cinematic and evocative piece with 'Viaje a la Memoria', featured in Piano Whispers 01. Bucolic and deeply imaginative, this composition unfolds like a nostalgic journey through time, weaving pure magic and emotion.

Meraki – The Art of Pouring Soul, Creativity, and Love into Everything We Do

Every keystroke is a breath of the soul, every harmony a reflection of pure passion. 
Meraki is born from the impulse to infuse heart into every note, transforming emotions and thoughts into sound. It’s a journey of devotion, a silent dialogue between the intimate and the infinite, where music is not just heard, but deeply felt.

The Dwarven Path

This is a transcription of the cantate: "Ich ruf zu Dir Herr Jesu" of the famous pianist Busoni.(1866-1924) Acoustic environment King's Collage Chapel in Londen.
It's played in a very modest volume so don't pump up the volume!
It's meditative....

Bach, Ich ruf zu dir, Herr, transcription Busoni (performer Ad van Nederpelt)

On April 15, the last remaining hospital in Gaza was destroyed. To date, 50,000 civilians have died, of which 15,000 are children and another 34,000 children have been injured. (source: Unicef).
Due to the almost total displacement of the population in refugee camps where food and water are scarce, the lack of hygiene, of medical facilities, it is predicted, with a very conservative estimate, that in the end the civilian deaths related to the conflict will be four times as many (source: Lancet).

Released by the contemplative neoclassical label ad21.

Tiempo Flotante

some recent lyrics written with kind of street ballad in my head (german ‘moritat’) – pure, uncontrolled and intense. as usual it took well over a hundred of attempts (low-key!!!) and never-ending novels of prompts to get my AI-voice ‘carina’ close to my imaginations. anyway, at the end she delivered a challenging match. 

I didn’t have the chance to get a barrel organ for the final embedment (just used a reed one, accompanied by an erhu sound and other stuff), but I like the result very much because this song means a most personal topic to me.

Oh kein Gott

Hat man dich jemals schrei‘n gehört
Gespürt, dass es dich schmerzt, entsetzt, verstört
Weil alles, was du einmal machtest
Ganz anders läuft, als du es dachtest

Gab‘s da mal Zeichen, die der Himmel schickte
Ein Schwert, das einer deiner Engel zückte
Spürtest du Verzweiflung, Sorgen, Nöte
Milliarden mal Millionen Gebete

Nicht ein Versucht, ein Leid zu drehen
Du lässt es einfach so geschehen
Du duldest schweigend all die kranken Köpfe 
Das Treiben deiner tödlichen Geschöpfe

Ist das ein Spiel für dauernde Verlierer
Sehende Puppen, blinde Führer
Hat sich darin ein großer Plan erfüllt 
Ist alles noch dein Ebenbild

Macht euch die Erde Untertan
Folgt Selbstgefälligkeit und Wahn
Nehmt was ihr wollt, ihr müsst nichts geben
Ihr habt ja nur dies eine Leben

Ist Schicksal, was passieren muss?
Gibt’s niemals einen guten Schluss?
So siehst du zu, ums wie es ist, zu lassen
Statt anzubeten, müsste man dich hassen

Oh, Oh, Oh, kein Gott
Oh, Oh, Oh, kein Gott
 
lyrics google translation 

Oh no god

Have you ever been heard screaming?
Felt that it hurts you, horrifies you, disturbs you?
Because everything you once did
Turns out completely differently than you thought it would

Were there ever signs sent from heaven?
A sword unsheathed by one of your angels?
Did you feel despair, worry, hardship?
Billions of millions of prayers?

Ever tried to turn a suffering around?
You just let it happen.
You silently tolerate all the sick minds.
The doings of your deadly creatures.

Is this a game for perpetual losers?
Seeing puppets, blind guides.
Has a great plan been fulfilled in this?
Is everything still in your image?

Subdue the earth.
Follow complacency and delusion.
Take what you want, you don't have to give anything.
You only have this one life.

Is fate what must happen?
Is there never a happy ending?
Are you just watching to let things be?
Instead of worshipping, people should hate you.

Oh, oh, oh, no God.
Oh, oh, oh, no God.


Oh kein Gott
