David Nevue是一位衷爱肖邦的新古典主义钢琴独奏家和作曲家,从1987年开始全职投入 音乐创作与演奏,他的作品出版的很少,只有9CD,而且完全是通过互联网销售,它的音 乐未曾透过任何一家唱片公司发行。但是现在他已经成为一个网上音乐教育学院的创建 者和成功的推广专家,同时,他更是一位出色的文学家,在他的作品里,肖邦的传世琴 瑟与文学艺术的内涵结合得完美无缺,每一个单独的主题曲几乎都可以作为一篇故事引 人入胜。
David Nevue的音乐曲风介类于乔治.温斯顿。他的音乐是“余音绕梁,三日不绝”。实 际上,青少年时期对他影响最大的是像 Rush、Pink Floyd、以及 Kansas这样的摇滚歌 手。后来,他的同屋向他推荐了乔治温斯顿的音乐,他被音乐的印象主义风格深深吸引, 从那时候起,他才改变主意,决定成为一位钢琴家。
David Nevue与知名的演奏家David Lanz不单是交情深厚的好友,并且是在音乐创作上, 互相学习与竞争的艺术家。Devid Nevue的音乐来源则不尽然都是他自行创作的,更多的 时候他也演奏宗教音乐,并且能将音乐本身的精髓表现到极致。(摘自网络)
"When my wife and I took a vacation to Germany in November of 1998, I must admit I was totally unprepared for what awaited us there. I had always imagined Germany a rather dark, industrial country. I couldn't have been more wrong. Germany is a land of wonders, filled to capacity with ancient castles and cathedrals. Everywhere we went we seemed to look back in time. There were days we felt like we were exploring a fairy-tale land; a strange, storybook world, where everything was bigger and more fantastic. Needless to say, it was an extraordinary trip, and a wonderful adventure.
After we arrived back in the States, I found my mind returning again and again to our time in Germany. Before long, I began to put some of my favorite memories to music, trying to capture, in some small way, the moments that made the biggest impact on me. That's how this album, a collection of musical 'postcards', came to be." (David Nevue)
