German musician Bernward Koch has experienced a most astonishing rise within the international instrumental music scene over the last decade.
Koch’s fame began to ascend when the artist (among greats such Sting, Bonie Riatt, Dave Grusin, Al Jarreau, Ottmar Liebert and Dave Stewart) contributed a track for two Aids-benefit compilations initiated by California radio stations KKSF and THE WAVE and have achieved top positions on US-Billboard’s New Age Chart. Today Bernward Koch is considered by many as among the genre’s leading artists.
No one who knows Koch’s music is surprised by his success. The classically trained artist composes pieces of outstanding formal maturity and with an astonishing musical finesse. Koch himself calls his piano based compositions „songs without lyrics“, and indeed they are delicately crafted and clearly show their creator’s sense of form in his discernible tuneful signature.
His arrangements are always marked by a tasteful balance of natural and electronic sounds. The most instruments (piano, keyboards, bass, guitar, percussion) plays himself, mixed with percussionist and guitar player Bernward’s brother Christoph; and the exquisite flute playing of his wife Christiane Boehm has over the years become a trademark feature in his sound.
The music of Bernward Koch unfolds a soothing and seductive charm and with his most recent release „GENTLE SPIRIT" (2009 Real Music, USA) listeners around the world will once again be under its spell!
