Equinox. The moment when extremes come together, in balance and perfect harmony. “It’s representative of how I make music now,” says acclaimed Dutch pianist and recent Edison Classical Award winner Pieter de Graaf. “And how I live.” The perfect title for his new album then, 10 tracks of romantic, emotional piano music flecked with subtle electronica and deft textures. It’s a record inspired by hope, perseverance, and the positivity of overcoming a debilitating RSI injury. And, above all, by change and evolution. An equinox represents a shift to something new; Equinox does the same for Pieter de Graaf.
