O Tannenbaum is out now. Listen to the most intimate piano ♥️
Originally from Germany, but discovered in Austria, Neo-Classical pianist Roman Nagel with his first release on AMADEO, the Label of the most important recordings of Friedrich Gulda.
A hundred years ago, Sigmund Freud would have loved Roman Nagel. He prefers to stand on the edge of the chasm where the unconscious lurks, or expressed differently, where the psychological structure that influences both the ego and the superego. Whereas for Freud the dream was the ideal path to the unconscious, for Nagel it is improvisation. He looks for patterns and repetitive elements and develops a vocabulary consisting of modules he enjoys varying. Suddenly he had arrived in neo-classic music, music that oscillates between meditative calm and underlying turmoil.
A very special artist who has many stories to tell, especially those involving the environment, climate protection and racism. Roman Nagel likes to define music as a kind of attention getter. It should not be an end in itself – but should point towards important social issues and lead to concrete action via the emotions it triggers.
