Caspar Vos
Ego

We’re excited to announce our 11th release: the debut album of Caspar Vos, called Ego.
The ingrediënts: a pianist who deserves the spotlights (Caspar), one thrilling composer (Nikolai Medtner), a Steinway D grand that sings and all of this captured in a very fine hall in Holland.
Although we’ve named it Ego we don’t release a selfish portrait of this young piano master. Quite the contrary. We think it is an ego-document at it’s finest: a performance by an honest pianist who contemplates his spirit via the music of Medtner.
Indulge yourself with the Nightwind Sonata opus 25/2, the Sonata-Skazka opus 25/1 and the Skazki opus 26. Colourful (and quite unknown) music asking for musical skills and imagination played with utter admiration.
