London based, German composer BW RECKNAGEL delivers a mesmerizing Debut Album of 10 classical piano compositions which takes matters to the ultimate destination. Ranging from Minimalism to dark Romanticism, this music has hypnotic tones of such intimacy and emotional depth that the listener is immediately drawn into a world of deep yet edgy relaxation - from the first note to the last. Here we have a modern composer who follows his heart without compromise, delivering an authentic work and a recording that can only be described as a powerful emotional statement. Performed by Russian Pianist Xenia Russo, her sensitive and expertly colored playing brings the final magical touch to this unique work, emphasizing the "openness" of BW Recknagel's music, painting a picture of melancholy and sadness, taking you into a journey of your own inner stories of emotion. With classical piano music struggling to meet a wider audience, BW Recknagel's Debut "Nihilum" comes like a breath of fresh air and will, without a shadow of a doubt, put this contemporary composer on the map.
