Luminous piano works to still your mind
From Mel Bonis¡¯s late-Romantic lyricism to Kara-Lis Coverdale¡¯s contemporary restraint, immerse yourself in a carefully curated mix of melodies designed for focus and reflection.
Spanning more than twelve decades, this mix glides from the gentle reverberations of British contemporary Erland Cooper and avant-garde innovator Felicia Atkinson to timeless voices like Harold Budd and Jean Sibelius. Seamlessly weaving reflective melodies that have brightened quiet moments across the ages, this collection celebrates the piano¡¯s enduring power to console, uplift, and transcend.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: ¡°Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Piano Focus¡±.
