The great success of my "Valses melancoliques" (including the award-winning No. VIII - le desir eternel) encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor, created in a 14 day "composing rush" in April 2013 :-)

Pianist Carlos Marquéz (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital), whom many of you know for his outstanding piano recordings, was so kind to play some of the "Swans". 
Enjoy his breathtaking performance of this piece!

Carlos played all 10 Valses melancoliques Series I, which you can find on iTunes and many other platforms. Truly can recommend this!

All 12 "Swans" will also be published as an album towards the end of 2013, performed by pianist Danaë Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse).
Here is a "Preview" of the first 6 valses:

Due to everyone being so pleased with me putting up a recording of me performing Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata', I felt like it would be a nice idea to put up for free download other lovely pieces of music that have been in my performance repertoire over the years.  The Chopin Nocturnes I always particularly loved and are very beautiful.  Enjoy!!

Chopin Nocturne Opus 9 No 1

Free Download

Chopin - Nocturne Opus 9 No1 (Glenn Morrison playing on a Steinway D Grand)

"A la recherche du temps perdu" No. 1 - " Du côte de chez Swann" - performed by pianist Ellen Cunningham Weaver, USA, on a Schimmel Grand Piano (https://soundcloud.com/ellen-w-1).

"Time" is the main theme of "A la recherche du temps perdu", inspired by the amazing book "In search of the lost time" by Marcel Proust. We live in "fast times", we are "stressed", and we all are longing for the "temps perdu", when life was slower, more down tempo. So the pieces in this series, called after the chapter titles of Proust´s book, are very slow, very accentuated, very expressive. Both listeners and pianists should take their time, to play and listen, as a short break from "normal times"...

Ellen recorded all 7 pieces of the series " A la recherche du temps perdu" and 4 pieces of the new "Adveniat" series. Both series are very contemplative, and Ellen´s masterful interpretations accentuate this character so well. We are sure you will enjoy our new "pure piano" Album!

I met Gaby by coincidence on a christmas market in Berlin and was instantly excited about her beautiful photographs of run-down houses with old pianos, that fit so perfectly to my music. Thankfully I can use these pictures for my new albums.

Album "The Swans" - 12 Valses Melancoliques
Pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse) from Los Angeles / USA has recorded the whole "Swans" series. Danaë performs these works in a masterful way, bringing interpretive variety to each waltz such that each piece portrays distinct character, and all are a delight to hear!

Exquisite review by Cordogan on iTunes :
"Having been in the piano business for 44 years, few pianists surprise or even draw me into their playing the way Danae Vlasse does. The marvelous interpretations of this accomplished and passionate pianist evoke an exquisite escape from the real world. 
Her piano playing mystifies explanation. Listening to her CD entices you into a place, where time and space no longer exist."
