Listen to instrumental electro-acoustic harp music by Andreas Vollenweider on his new album Quiet Places. I remember seeing his live performances in Dallas during the 80’s at both the Granada Theatre and Majestic Theatre.

QUIET PLACES is a musical treat for precious, quiet moments, for the more subtle feelings, a source of strength for the wild ride out there in the crazy world…

10 thematic improvisations, calm, moving, intimate, personal, close. Of course Andreas plays his harp and here and there the piano, the young cello player Isabel Gehweiler slips “under our skin” with her haunting, soulful and vibrant playing and now and then Walter Keiser joins in with filigree grooving drums.

New Album

Quiet Places (2020) – 10 songs, 41 min

Videos

I have also included 9 live mini-concert videos (over 2 hours) that he performed from his home studio in Zurich, Switzerland during the COVID-19 pandemic. His next super mini-concert #10 has been postponed until Oct 21 while he celebrates the release of his new album. Also he is publishing an audio-book of his first novel Im Spiegel der Venus (Reflections of Venus) with music, which is currently being translated into English.
