Today we are delving into classical territories, and we are doing so with pride and satisfaction, knowing that we have a well-worthy record to share with you all. ‘Winds of Change’ is one of those albums that won’t scream at you, rather, they will softly and gently embrace you into a poignant and cathartic hug, allowing any listener to exercise personal introspection and pure, unfiltered escapism – even just for a few minutes.
Dedicated to the sapient piano composition of its author – Californian-based talent Allen Kai-Lang Yu – ‘Winds of Change’ features twelve pieces with a decisively modern outlook. While drawing from classical tradition, they also work their way towards contemporary cinematic sentiment, making for an album that’s anchored in the past, while looking at the future. Packed with emotional energy, Allen Kai-Lang Yu’s performances remind us of the regenerative power of music – its ability to soothe, inspire, and amend.
Describing the inspiration behind the record, he explains: “The key to peace is to recognise our common humanity, our common bonds, our common destiny… The more we recognise we are fellow brothers and sisters, the more mutual respect we have for each other, the less we are afraid, the more chance we can give peace a chance.”
