It is the perfect background music for a romantic evening or a dinner for two, but also for relaxation on your own, e.g. to recover from the stress of everyday life at home.<\/p>\n<p>This CD is available for the first time and includes a selection of his own compositions, performed with exquisite sensitivity. His music seems somehow familiar, it is inspiring and is reminiscent of the great romantics of the classic era, like Chopin or Liszt. Others are reminded by it of Debussy, and some even go as far as likening it to contemporary artists like Keith Jarrett.<\/p>\n<p>And at times it even conveys to the listener a slight hint of film music. One is therefore quite justified to classify his music not just as New Age, but also as popular classical style.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/18131542&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"458\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When the CD Things Could Be Better, Vol. 1 was made, special attention was paid to ensure that the product feels more valuable than just a simple music CD off the shelf. For example, a few extra cents were invested in a more stable CD case with rounded edges, the so-called Super Jewel Case, so that the product looks more valuable.<\/p>\n<p>The CD Things Could Be Better, Vol. 1 has a playing time of approx. 34.08 minutes and consists of a total of 8 tracks. The price of the CD is only \u20ac 9.90.
