Mystery, wonder, and awe

“Schiller”, named after Friedrich Schiller, is the name of the music project of the two musicians Christopher von Deylen and Mirko von Schlieffen (the latter left in 2003). It is melodic and soft electronic music, which is accompanied by Lyric, similar to Lichtmond before. Some of the tracks are purely instrumental, others feature vocals by very different artists. Meanwhile “Schiller” has produced the twelfth album.

Hi Jurgen, a beautiful piece and performance. The pianist in the video there is Lang Lang, one of the renowned new young modern pianists in the classical music circle these days.
He does a very emotion filled Fur Elise here. For me Beethoven’s Fur Elise is the first melody I think I ever knew when I was 3 or 4, in the form of a toy music box I had. So always special.
Of the piece, Lang Lang says: “For me it is very romantic, and light, like a feather. It has to come from nowhere and it has to touch people. It can’t just be treated as background music. I’ve tried to play the piece as the masterpiece that it is, and I hope that children who begin learning ‘Für Elise’ will treat it the same way.

Hi Jung,
I once had the pleasure of hearing Lang Lang at a Christmas concert. Yes, he is a person who does not only play music, but lives music.
Here is another nice piece of music by Schiller:

Hi Jurgen, some nice soothing music by Schiller, thanks. The video has an interesting Japanese Samurai theme going on there, and music fits in nicely with the mystique if the far east.

Heads up: There is a bit of talking before and at the end of the video. Sarah Cracknell is an English singer/songwriter. This song ( The Journey Continues) effectively utilizes the operatic voice and gives it an ethereal quality. Officially listed as Mark Brown featuring Sarah Cracknell
Fun fact: Sarah’s father Derek Cracknell was Stanley Kubrik’s assistant director in “A Clockwork Orange”

Hi Diana, that is very nice, the vocals are so soothing and exhilarating, and the back up operatic vocal effect like a vocal instrument is great too. You have a rich library of interesting music. Thanks.

The 60s produced a lot of songs that evoke feelings of mystery and wonder. We don’t have to look very far.
