Atmospheres

Mystical and inviting, Atmospheres gently envelopes and embraces you in a blanket of musical color. From the peaceful, guiding notes of the piano to the sonorous strings of the cello to the interwoven sounds of nature, Deuter has once again created an stirringly beautiful album that is sure to entrance and calm the soul. Stroll through the landscapes of Deuter’s musical masterpiece and find yourself in enchanted and blissful serenity.

“As always, I am inspired by nature and use my impressions much in the way Monet transformed his love and impressions of water lilies into his final masterpiece, “Les Nympheas.” I was deeply moved when I saw “Les Nympheas” at the Musee de ‘Oranderie in Paris with its impressionistic emptiness and the vital essence of Monet’s suggested floral forms – the flowers are present, but nothing is clearly defined. It is instead left up to the viewer to create the forms within themselves. Atmospheres is a reflection of this experience. The music has no clear definition or formal structure. As experienced with Monet’s great “Nympheas,” the music fully envelops the listener…no beginning, no end.” ~C. G. Deuter

“For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life – the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.” ~Claude Monet
