About

This unusual collection is dedicated to a very popular style: minimalist music. The style has evolved from austere, almost strict repetition to a more varied and free approach to material and technique. The set includes works for solo piano by most of the famous ‘minimalist’ composers covering three generations from Cage, through Riley and Glass to Adams and Nyman.

Dutch pianist Jeroen van Veen is fascinated by minimalist music. He was one of the initiators and participants of the highly successful complete recordings on 11 CDs of Simeon ten Holt’s works for multiple pianos. On this solo album he once again demonstrates with great flair his affinity with minimalism.

The repertoire included here also features compositions by Satie, Friedrich Nietzsche and Arvo Pärt. There are also two CDs of compositions by the pianist himself and several recordings of minimalist pieces by other present-day French, Belgian and Dutch composers. This attractive set will appeal to a wide audience and may shed some light on the present state of minimalism.
