Kerani - Small Treasures Mp3

Holland-based keyboardist and composer Kerani is a true renaissance artist of the early 21st century instrumental music world. Having released five critically acclaimed albums since 2011, Kerani returns in 2018 with her sixth release, Small Treasures. There’s plenty of New Age instrumental music that tastefully blends in a European inspired musical style in the spirit of the iconic composers of centuries past, and played and recorded with sonic precision and wonderful intention. Free from electronic keyboards and synth backing, Small Treasures is mostly a fine showcase for Kerani’s exquisite grand piano skills. Small Treasures begins with a track called “Temple Of Roses”, a song that features a rare vocal performance from Chanele McGuinness, who also is featured adding spoken word poetry on the track “Celtic Mystery”. With elegant sound contributions from Arno Op den Camp, Small Treasures also features a number of guest artists, including flute maestro Ron Korb and Carla Maffioletti (guitar), along with several other musicians, with a high point being a full-bodied string quartet. Enhancing the musical majesty on Small Treasures are Kerani’s wonderful paintings, which are reproduced in the CD booklet along with excerpts from her favorite poetry. Commenting on the album in her memorable CD booklet liner notes, Kerani notes, “This time, I have chosen to write music that is closer to myself; music which describes memories and feelings that left an imprint on my heart forever.” An impressive follow-up to her 2017 album Stardust, 2018’s Small Treasures is overflowing with wondrous and majestic instrumental music that will impart an instant sense of sonic relief to the most seasoned 21st century New Age / Neoclassical music lover.
