Known professionally as Hauschka, composer Volker Bertelmann has catapulted himself into the top tier of instrumental composers. This is proven, not least, by the Oscar nomination which he received for his soundtrack to the 2016 film Lion. In his latest album A Different Forest, released on 8 February 2019 at Sony Classical, Hauschka takes the forest as a contrast to the urban life. The names of the pieces, such as 'Talking To My Father', testify equally that those natural experiences are metaphorical of the important things in life. For this album Hauschka renounces entirely his prepared Piano. The existential questions which he musically poses, however, do not lose their intensity, but rather, without the alienation by electronic elements, gain urgency. In addition to the 13 LP tracks, this songbook for Piano also contains three exclusive arrangements of previously unreleased songs: 'Collecting Stones', 'Loosing Directions' and 'Misty Day'.
