Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider is back!

Andreas Vollenweider stands for sold out tours worldwide in auditoriums like Carnegie Hall or Radio City Music Hall in New York, Universal Amphitheatre Los Angeles, Palladium in London, NHK Hall in Tokyo or Town Hall in Sydney. He has released 18 albums from 1980 to the present day and has sold more than 15 million physical records. Grammy Award, Latin Grammy and World Music Award as well as other Grammy nominations, most recently in 2007, stand for his unique success. In 2012 he received the Swiss Music Award in the category Outstanding Achievement for his ''continuing life's work''.

In 2015, Vollenweider develops a special music for a research project of the Neonatology Department of the University Hospital of Geneva. The focus is on the massive developmental problems of premature births and the question of what sound and music could do to support them. In its January 2019 issue, the National Geographic Magazine described the surprisingly great success of the project as ''one of the 12 innovations that will revolutionize the future of medicine''.

Review
...an intimate, melodically eloquent, rhythmically eclectic and classically tinged set of vibrant exotic dances and introspective meditations. Creating dreamy, lushly textured soundscapes with his ensemble of pianist Isabel Gehweiler and drummer Walter Keizer...
Jonathan Widran, Music Connection

...As a music reviewer, I rarely say it, but 'Quiet Places' is a must. It is easily one of the finest New Age music releases in 2020. It also an excellent addition to Vollenweider's discography...
BT Fasmer --New Age Music Guide

The Swiss harp ace reached enough of you successfully that he was able to take a 10 year powder and regroove himself. Making his original impact on the pop side of a classical label, you can feel him stretching his classical muscles here in the company of his co-horts. Whether serious and heavy or not, he's still a nimble, sprightly player who strums his harp with a smile you can feel. A delightful set that will bring back memories of how satisfying it was to listen to a well done album all the way through, particularly when it takes you to places out of the ordinary.
