A musical voyage of self-discovery
Barbara Dennerlein allowed herself sufficient time to give musical expression to her inner- most thoughts and aspirations and to capture these on this strikingly original and very personal CD. "In a Silent Mood" provides a revealing insight into her musical personality, as she energetically celebrates the free flow of musical ideas which mirror her remarkable career as a brilliant exponent of the organ.
We are treated to the inspired creativity of her own, well-crafted compositions, a co- lourful tapestry of melodies, suspenseful mood changes and moments of peace and tranquillity.
Barbara Dennerlein's playing reflects her own musical development. At home, in her own studio, in a most secluded atmosphe- re, free from pressure and outside interfer- ence, she allows her creativity full rein. And all the time she brings out the full sound of her unique, modified Hammond B3 organ, with its rich tonal colours and surging foot- pedal bass lines.
"In a Silent Mood" is the precious product of an extremely creative mind, put together with excellent taste and finesse and making effective use of multifarious musical shades. It is the handwriting of a mature artist.
