The Art Of Romanticism Vol. 1’ keeps you warm and cosy when it’s dark and freezing outside. Wonderful melodies are embracing you. Walter Lang is surely one of the most lyrical piano players in today’s jazz world.
"His lovely compositions can easily compare with some of today’s jazz standards: You immediately like them when you hear them first. They entertain – but have depth, too." (Fono Forum )
"This ensemble is phenomenal!" (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
"A jazz experience for the ambitious romantic in you." (AZ)
For more than 10 years Walter Lang has been part of the Munich jazz scene and worked with, among others, Johannes Herrlich‘s Collage, the Jason Seizer Quartet and the Harald Rueschenbaum Quintet. In 1997 Walter received ‘Artist Of The Year’ by the town of Gersthofen, Germany.
