THE NEW MAGICAL
OPUS
|
ALL IS ONE - ONE IS ALL
Just in time for the 35th Anniversary
Gandalf presents his latest magical Opus.
ALL IS ONE - ONE IS ALL is the 32nd studio
production since his record debut Journey
to
an
Imaginary
Land
in 1981. The music is in most
part based piano compositions, from very
powerful to gentle and atmospheric, to
which the artist was inspired by the
amazing volcanic worlds on the Canary
Island of La Palma.

the Earth
Additionally to Gandalf's steady lineup
over the recent years, Merike Hilmar
(cello) and son Christian
Strobl (percussion), a couple
of musical guests appear on the album:
Gandalf's longtime companion Peter
Aschenbrenner (Irish whistles,
bodhran), Karin
Leitner (Irish whistle) and Vasile
Marian (duduk).
The vocal title track All Is One
was performed by the highly gifted
singer/songwriter, originating from

The album
is a collection of music-scores Gandalf
was producing in 2013 for various
projects. Once again the artist proves his
extraordinary gift to translate stories
into a diversity of picturesque music,
going deeply under the skin.
For the most part the music has got a
Celtic spirit and was written for the
TV-documentary Das
Steinzeiträtsel (“The Stone
Age Enigma”) by Ronald & Roswitha
Vaughan. Some tracks with a more Classical
touch were composed for the novel Der Nachlass Domenico Minettis
(“Domenico Minettis Inheritance”) by the
Austrian author Dietmar Gnedt. A very
special piece played on concert-harp is
based on Gandalf’s new book Die Seelenharfe
(“Echoes of the Heart”).
The music was performed by Gandalf - piano &
keyboards, acoustic guitars &
percussion, Karin Leitner -
Irish whistles, Nicky Eggl
- Irish whistles & bodhran, Monika Stadler
- harp, Merike Hilmar
- cello, Vasile Marian
- oboe & English horn.

DIE SEELENHARFE
|

|
A Life Parable
After the autobiographical book, Erdenklang
und Sternentanz (2011), Gandalf
now publishes his first novel.
He has written a book of a very special
initiation. Die Seeelenharfe shows
how much we are all instrument and player
at the same time - and how much the design
of our lives is in our own responsibility.
A story full of magic and poetry, music
that has turned into words.
The true
adventure of life begins, where many
already
would
turn around, because they lack of
courage, to leave
the
familiar paths.
Once you
have found your life's mission, then
your
heart
swings in everything you do.
Trust in
your heart, it knows the way.

DREAMWEAVER

With this
album GANDALF especially
followed
the
endeavor
to
present
his
music
in
a most essential way. The
music sounds very pure and natural and was
almost entirely performed on acoustic
instruments, supported
by Merike
Hilmar (Cello), Karin
Leitner (Flutes &
Irish Whistles) and Christian
Strobl (Percussion).
His compositions are like ebb and
flow, sometimes very soft and
breathing, sometimes strong and
powerful. Musical tales that take the
listener on a colorful journey across
the planet.

In Earthsong
and
Stardance,
a cooperation
with the orchestra Corso
Wien, the musical
creativity of the "Magician of
Heartsounds" reached a new climax. The
composition of about seventy minutes
length reflects the essence of
Gandalf´s musical experience through
three decades in an outstanding unique
way.

"Erdenklang
und
Sternentanz"
also is the
title of Gandalf´s autobiographic book
released in 2011. Based on his diaries
from more than three decades the
sensitive artist allows to gain an
insight to the highs and lows of his
life-journey, into the "score of his
life-symphony"(available in German
only).
First of all it is a book about his love
for nature, for all human beings and
especially for music, about his approach
to creativity and spirituality and the
finding and realizatzion of his
life-mission.
