Hermetism

Description

Joep Beving, a sensation of the contemporary classical streaming world, returns to his solo piano roots with Hermetism; the Dutch composer/pianists fourth album for Deutsche Grammophon. Inspired by ancient philosophy, Bevings latest project is an album in search of universal ideas. I hope that it will have a comforting and communal effect on listeners, says the artist. Written during the dark days of the pandemic, in an age of fear and polarisation, Hermetism blends poignant melancholy with an offer of hope, spanning twelve new tracks recorded on Bevings cherished Schimmel piano.
