It’s been exactly 10 years and I miss him every day… I am in awe of the fact that I was lucky enough to be musically raised by this incredible teacher! I consider few moments luckier than the moment he decided I could be his student! I was 11 years old and had NO idea what a privilege I had just been given. There was never a question I couldn’t ask, a weakness I couldn’t show or a truth I couldn’t tell. To me he was more than just a teacher, he was a grandfather figure, a musical inspiration and the person who believed in me more than anybody else for many years. May he rest in peace and live on in the memories and music of his many, many students. 🖤 -
Thank you @orchestergraben for this nice review about ODYSEE! 🙏🏻 Here is a little excerpt and you can head over to their website to read the full review. 🤗 “Aber dann kommt Danae Dörken, und spielt das alles aus einem Guss, zieht dem Ganzen ihre Persönlichkeit über wie einen Pullover, und vereint diese so unterschiedlichen Kompositionen zu einer Familie, einfach durch ihren unverwechselbaren Klang, und ihren ganz eigenen, erwachsenen Stil. Und eigentlich ist das eine der wichtigsten Informationen, die dieses Album transportiert, wie ein großformatiges, modernes Gemälde zeigt es, wo die Künstlerin Danae Dörken heute steht, was sie mit Musikstücken unterschiedlichster Herkunft zu tun im Stande ist. Sie liefert anspruchsvolle Literatur nicht einfach branchenüblich makellos ab, sie injiziert ihre Persönlichkeit in die Stücke und lässt sie schweben. Wenn man als Liebhaber*in der klassischen Musik den Werdegang der Pianistin Danae Dörken nicht verfolgt, dann verpasst man etwas Großes und Wichtiges, in erster Linie aber eine ganze Menge Hörgenuss und -spaß. „Odyssee“ ist der nächste Meilenstein auf ihrer persönlichen Reise, und man sollte ihn gehört haben!” -
ALBUM OUT TODAY! 📸: @nikolajlund_photography • Posted @withregram • @berlinclassicsmusic The new album 'Odyssee' by pianist @danaedoerken is out now (link in bio). The German-Greek pianist Danae Dörken has known the 24 books of Homer’s Odyssey since childhood. “The Odyssey has fascinated me ever since I was small. Even when I was a little girl, my grandparents would read it to me before I went to sleep,” she recalls in her booklet talk with Jesper Klein. The wanderer’s tale from classical antiquity is a story of travelling, making mistakes, going astray, a tale of dreams and landings, and for Danae Dörken it is more contemporary than ever: “I see this as a highly topical story. I believe we are embarked upon a modern Odyssey.” Today’s many challenges, like climate change or worldwide migration as a result of extreme hardship and often violence, keep bringing modern society to unavoidable forks in the road. And the road taken can be very quickly revealed as a dead end, causing a further change of direction. Corona precautions have repeatedly reminded us of that during the past two years. Rather than losing heart, Danae Dörken finds it “exciting to be living at such a point in time … on such a journey, there are hopeful moments and moments of despair”. And so she has ventured out on her debut album “Odyssee” from Berlin Classics on a quite deliberate musical journey. The album’s release date is April 22, 2022. #berlinclassics #berlinclassicsmusic #danaedoerken #danaedörken #odyssee #pianomusic #classicalpiano #newclassicalmusicalbum #classicalmusic2022 #pianistsofinstagram -
